Summary
Patient recall response for implant prosthetics and periodontal disease treatment declines over time. Patients with rapidly progressing periodontitis showed the highest engagement, while juvenile periodontitis patients had the lowest recall rates.
Area of Science:
- Periodontology
- Prosthodontics
- Dental Implantology
Context:
- Evaluation of long-term patient recall in a private periodontal practice.
- Analysis of 7-year follow-up data for 530 implant prosthetic patients and 2364 periodontal disease patients.
Purpose:
- To assess and compare the recall response rates of patients undergoing prosthetic rehabilitation on implants versus those treated for periodontal disease.
- To identify factors influencing patient adherence to long-term periodontal recall appointments.
Summary:
- Recall response diminished over time across all patient groups.
- Patients with (post) juvenile periodontitis demonstrated poor follow-up adherence.
- Patients with rapidly progressing periodontitis exhibited the highest eagerness for regular periodontal visits.
- Implant patients with complete rehabilitation showed better recall than partial or single-crown restorations.
Impact:
- Findings highlight the need for tailored recall strategies to improve long-term patient management in periodontology and implant dentistry.
- Understanding patient recall patterns can optimize treatment outcomes and practice management for chronic dental conditions.
