Study Notes
- Periodontal debridement is the "gold standard" for initial therapy in periodontal infections.
- NSPT includes eliminating risk factors, patient education, nonsurgical therapy, and antibiotics.
- The goals of periodontal therapy are to manage or eliminate plaque biofilm and risk factors.
- NSPT can reduce inflammation, pocket depth, and improve clinical attachment.
- NSPT aims to interrupt the disease process, encourage healing, induce positive bacterial changes, and prepare for surgical therapy.
- Patients with plaque-induced gingivitis require complete scaling and patient compliance with biofilm removal.
- Patients with mild-to-moderate periodontitis require infection control and routine appointments for scaling.
- Patients with moderate-to-severe periodontitis may require adjunctive chemotherapeutics and specialized instruments.
- Surgical periodontal procedures may be required for certain conditions.
- NSPT includes preventive services such as patient education, fluoride applications, and smoking cessation support.
