A practical approach to the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease McLeod DEJ Am Dent Assoc 2000[Apr]; 131 (4): 483-91BACKGROUND: Both nonsurgical and surgical periodontal therapies are important in the control of most forms of periodontal disease. Sometimes, nonsurgical therapy is adequate to control the disease in mild cases and to slow progression and maintain periodontal stability in more advanced cases. Other times, both therapies may be indicated to obtain satisfactory results. The author presents treatment guidelines and recommendations for periodontal therapy. METHODS: The author searched the dental literature for information pertaining to periodontal therapy. RESULTS: The author found evidence-based data to support the effectiveness of nonsurgical and surgical periodontal therapy in controlling periodontal disease. Nonsurgical periodontal therapy requires time, effort, and good diagnostic and clinical skills to obtain satisfactory results. The results are determined by evaluating the patient's periodontal disease after active therapy, at which time additional surgical or nonsurgical treatment may be recommended. Evaluation should continue throughout the lifelong supportive phase of periodontal therapy. CONCLUSION: Clinicians should continue to develop and enhance their diagnostic skills, assess factors that affect diagnosis and prognosis, formulate a comprehensive treatment plan, render appropriate treatment, evaluate the outcome and determine when periodontal care is indicated. CLINICAL IMPLICATION: Failure to comply with monitoring the patient's periodontal status may lead to uncontrolled disease and eventually premature tooth loss. Premature tooth loss can be prevented through patient education and application of evidence-based nonsurgical and surgical therapy.|Clinical Protocols[MESH]|Gingivitis/diagnosis/therapy[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Patient Care Planning[MESH]|Patient Care Team[MESH]|Periodontal Diseases/*diagnosis/*therapy[MESH]|Periodontitis/diagnosis/therapy[MESH]|Referral and Consultation[MESH] |
