Nonsurgical periodontal therapy

Periodontology 2000, 2001
Regular home care by the patient in addition to professional removal of subgingival plaque is generally very effective in controlling most inflammatory periodontal diseases.

Effect of Therapy on Periodontal Infections

Journal of Periodontology, 1993
Periodontal disease progression requires the simultaneous presence of high numbers of pathogens, low numbers of compatible or beneficial species, a conducive local environment, and a susceptible host. Effective therapy acts by altering one or more of these factors.

Nonsurgical periodontal therapy

Clinical Techniques in Small Animal Practice, 2000
The primary etiology of periodontal disease is bacterial infection. Bacteria exist as a biofilm (plaque) on the tooth and soft-tissue surfaces of the mouth. Biofilm is extremely resistant to antimicrobial activity. To effectively treat periodontal disease, the bacterial load must be reduced to allow healing of the inflamed tissues.

Periodontal Therapy: Prospects for the Future

Journal of Periodontology, 1993
Prior to the 1950s, periodontitis was treated mostly by tooth exfoliation or extraction, and that is still the predominant treatment for most of the world's populations today. Debridement of the root surface by scaling and root planing came into relatively common use in the first half of the present century and has become the central feature held in ...

Photodynamic therapy: a targeted therapy in periodontics

Australian Dental Journal, 2009
AbstractThe oral cavity is colonized by a large number and highly diversified communities of micro‐organisms. Bacterial biofilm present on tooth or root surface is a major cause of gingivitis and periodontitis. Chemical antimicrobial agents are widely used in prophylactic and therapeutic regimens for dental plaque related diseases, which are among the ...

Minimally Invasive Periodontal Therapy: Will Periodontal Therapy Remain a Technologic Laggard?

Journal of Periodontology, 2010
Minimally invasive therapeutic approaches have become the standard of care for many medical procedures. In contrast, the use of minimally invasive techniques in non‐surgical and surgical periodontal therapy has not progressed to the same extent. This commentary explores some of the technologic forces that influence the acceptance of minimally invasive ...

Preventive Therapy for Periodontal Diseases

Advances in Dental Research, 1994
Rational approaches to the prevention of destructive periodontitis should be based on a clear understanding of etiology and pathogenesis. However, we are dealing with a heterogeneous family of diseases in which different factors operate. It is an oversimplification to regard poor oral hygiene, and hence an accumulation of non-specific dental bacterial ...
