Supportive periodontal treatment: maintenance.

T G Wilson

    Current Opinion in Dentistry

    Summary

    Supportive periodontal therapy (SPT) is crucial for managing inflammatory periodontal diseases after active treatment. However, low patient compliance with recommended SPT schedules remains a significant challenge in controlling periodontal issues.

    Area of Science:

    • Periodontology
    • Dental Public Health

    Background:

    • The phase following active therapy for inflammatory periodontal diseases is critical for long-term management.
    • This phase, now termed Supportive Periodontal Therapy (SPT), was previously known as maintenance therapy.
    • SPT plays a vital role in controlling periodontal disease progression.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the importance of Supportive Periodontal Therapy (SPT) in managing inflammatory periodontal diseases.
    • To underscore the challenges associated with patient adherence to SPT protocols.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of current understanding and terminology in periodontal disease management.
    • Emphasis on the established role of SPT in controlling periodontal conditions.

    Main Results:

    • Supportive Periodontal Therapy (SPT) is recognized as essential for managing periodontal health post-active treatment.
    • A significant barrier to effective SPT is the low compliance rate among patients with recommended treatment intervals.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective implementation of Supportive Periodontal Therapy (SPT) is crucial for successful long-term periodontal disease control.
    • Addressing patient non-compliance with SPT intervals is a key area for improving treatment outcomes in periodontology.
