considering that out of a total sample size of 48 surfaces there was only 1 ng difference in the amount of endotoxin between planed teeth and uninvolved teeth , the basic conclusion must be that root planing , as performed in this study , was able to render diseased root surfaces approximately as free of detectable endotoxin as were uninvolved , healthy root surfaces of unerupted teeth .
