Study Notes
- Nonsurgical periodontal therapy aims to eliminate inflammation in the periodontium.
- It is the first recommended approach to control periodontal infections.
- It includes self-care education, periodontal instrumentation, and chemical agents.
- It should eliminate living bacteria and inflammation in the periodontium.
- The therapy plan should consider primary etiologic factors, local and systemic risk factors.
- Patients need routine periodontal instrumentation to control subgingival biofilm.
- Poor patient compliance and systemic diseases may result in unfavorable outcomes.
- Referral to a periodontist may be necessary for refractory cases.
- The goals of periodontal therapy are to minimize bacterial challenge and stabilize attachment level.
- Nonsurgical periodontal therapy may include self-care instructions, periodontal instrumentation, antimicrobial agents, correction of local factors, interdisciplinary care, and modulation of host defenses.
