SUPPORTIVE PERIODONTAL THERAPY- A REVIEW
Keywords:
Compliance, maintenance phase, periodontal maintenance, patient’s care, supportive periodontal therapy,Abstract
The patient can receive the necessary maintenance and care through supportive periodontal therapy. To support patients who are susceptible to periodontal disease in maintaining visually and functionally acceptable periodontal affected dentitions for the rest of their lives, "care" entails more than only "therapy." An update of the patient's medical and dental histories, a review of radiographs,an extraoral and intraoral soft tissue examination, a dental examination, a periodontal evaluation, the removal of calculus and bacterial plaque from the supragingival and subgingival regions, scaling and root planing when necessary, polishing the teeth, a review of the patient's effectiveness with plaque control, and other appropriate behaviour modification should all be part of supportive periodontal treatment. This review article highlights the significance of supportive periodontal therapy and how it can be maintained.
