Overview
Brief Summary
Re-evaluation after non-surgical periodontal treatment remains an integral part of comprehensive periodontal therapy. This re-evaluation determines if a patient is in need either of surgical periodontal therapy or a personalized program of supportive periodontal treatment. However important, this time point is yet to be determined.This interventional study aims to clarify which is the best time to re-evaluate the therapeutic result after non-surgical periodontal treatment.
Detailed Description
This randomized clinical trial aims to clarify which is the best time to re-evaluate the therapeutic result after non-surgical periodontal treatment. For this purpose the participants will be recruited among people who come to the Periodontal Department of 251 Hellenic Air Force Hospital for periodontal treatment. Each participant is going to submit informed consent in order to be included in the study. Patients with the diagnosis of Periodontitis will be submitted to non-surgical periodontal treatment with ultrasonic and manual scalers within two sessions, under local anaesthesia. The result of the treatment is going to be evaluated at 6, 12 and 24 weeks after treatment completion.
