Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Periodontology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Supportive periodontal therapy (SPT) is crucial for long-term periodontal health maintenance.
  • Poor patient compliance with SPT can lead to treatment failure and disease recurrence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze compliance rates with supportive periodontal therapy (SPT) in a private periodontal clinic.
  • To identify factors influencing patient compliance, including sex, age, and treatment type.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 1,280 private patient records.
  • Data categorized by patient demographics (sex, age) and treatment received (surgical vs. non-surgical).
  • Compliance metrics included return rates, regularity of visits, and treatment abandonment.

Main Results:

  • 25.2% of patients never returned for SPT.
  • Only 40.1% of patients who returned attended SPT regularly.
  • Patients undergoing periodontal surgery showed higher compliance (77.6%) compared to non-surgical cases.
  • Female patients exhibited better compliance (76.5%) than males.
  • Treatment abandonment was high at 66.7%.
  • Compliance increased with patient age.

Conclusions:

  • Patient compliance with supportive periodontal therapy is suboptimal.
  • Factors such as surgical treatment, female sex, and older age are associated with better compliance.
  • Strategies to enhance patient motivation and adherence to SPT are necessary for effective periodontal disease management.
