Long-Term Assessment of Periodontal Surgery Versus Curettage or Scaling and Root Planing
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 March 2009
Abstract
The various treatments for periodontal disease must be assessed in light of the recently articulated goals of periodontal therapy to preserve teeth for a lifetime and to enhance esthetics and comfort as well as oral health. This article examines the long-term comparisons of periodontal surgery, curettage, and scaling and root planing in improving attachment levels instead of the more traditional pocket depth.
