Abstract
Aim: To assess the impact of active (APT) and supportive periodontal therapy (SPT) on the change in probing depth (PD) and annual tooth loss in partially and fully compliant and drop-out patients.
Material and methods: Data of 280 periodontally treated partially and fully compliant (regular supportive visits, SPT duration 5.5 ± 4.5 years) and 55 drop-out patients (SPT and drop-out duration 8.3 ± 3.8 years, only drop-out duration 5.3 ± 3.7 years) were recorded. PD data and the number of teeth present at the start of APT (T1) and at the start of SPT (T2) were taken from the patient files and evaluated at the time of the final examination (T3).
Results: Annual tooth loss during SPT was significantly higher (p < 0.001) in drop-out patients than in partially and fully compliant patients (0.31 ± 0.50 vs. 0.19 ± 0.55, respectively). In partially and fully compliant and drop-out patients, the mean PD (all available site data) decreased significantly between T1 (3.61 ± 0.82 vs. 3.70 ± 0.73 mm) and T2 (2.68 ± 0.40 vs. 2.76 ± 0.42 mm), while the values increased again slightly up to T3 (2.74 ± 0.41 vs. 2.99 ± 0.75 mm).
Conclusions: In partially and fully compliant patients, SPT had a positive impact on PD stability and medium-term tooth preservation. In contrary to expectations, drop-out patients, PD did not return to baseline values, although PD stability was not achieved.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Clinical Periodontology was founded by the British, Dutch, French, German, Scandinavian, and Swiss Societies of Periodontology.
The aim of the Journal of Clinical Periodontology is to provide the platform for exchange of scientific and clinical progress in the field of Periodontology and allied disciplines, and to do so at the highest possible level. The Journal also aims to facilitate the application of new scientific knowledge to the daily practice of the concerned disciplines and addresses both practicing clinicians and academics. The Journal is the official publication of the European Federation of Periodontology but wishes to retain its international scope.
The Journal publishes original contributions of high scientific merit in the fields of periodontology and implant dentistry. Its scope encompasses the physiology and pathology of the periodontium, the tissue integration of dental implants, the biology and the modulation of periodontal and alveolar bone healing and regeneration, diagnosis, epidemiology, prevention and therapy of periodontal disease, the clinical aspects of tooth replacement with dental implants, and the comprehensive rehabilitation of the periodontal patient. Review articles by experts on new developments in basic and applied periodontal science and associated dental disciplines, advances in periodontal or implant techniques and procedures, and case reports which illustrate important new information are also welcome.
