Abstract:
Clinicians are occasionally frustrated in arresting the progress of periodontal destruction. The refractory lesion is a problem with a complex and incompletely articulated cause that results in ill-defined and often misdirected treatment. This paper discusses whether refractory periodontitis is a specific entity or whether other periodontal conditions can become refractory.
