Official Title: Clinical Evaluation of a Novel Protocol (Guided Biofilm Management) for Supportive Periodontal Therapy: a Long-term Randomized Controlled Clinical Study
Brief Summary:
Supportive periodontal therapy (SPT) succeeds the active phase of periodontal therapy.SPT includes repeated supra- and subgingival scaling and root planing (SRP) at all sites with bleeding on probing and pocket depths ? 4-5 mm.Despite the fact that this treatment approach has been proven to be extremely successful, on a long-time basis, it is associated with substantial hard tissue loss (i.e.root cementum and dentin) that may lead to an increase in hypersensitivity, weakening of the tooth and even endodontic…
