A device and method for removing deposited material from subgingival tooth surfaces, under endoscopic guidance, without surgical cutting of the gingiva. In one embodiment, the invention comprises a simple endoscopic probe (16) insertable into the gingival sulcus to endoscopically visualize the process of and/or effects of subgingival root planing, scaling or other plaque removal procedures carried out by other operative instruments. In another embodiment, the endoscopic viewing apparatus (30) is incorporated into an operative instrument (10) which is, in itself, usable to effect removal deposited material from subgingival tooth surfaces such that the operator may endoscopically view and/or guide the instrument (10) while using the instrument (10) itself to effect the removal of material deposited on the subgingival tooth surfaces. The invention includes methods for removing deposited material from subgingival tooth surfaces under endoscopic guidance and/or monitoring.
