[After care of periodontally treated patients].
Follow-up examinations is mandatory with periodontal therapy in order to check the risk of recurrence. It comprises periodic check-ups, in which, at first, gingival inflammations and plaque causing such inflammation are evaluated together with the patient. Still in the same session, this is followed by conservative therapy. Apart from exact supra- and subgingival scaling, it is important to control and reinstruct the patient in personal oral hygiene. Interdental hygiene and the adjuncts selected according to the width of the inter-dental space play an important role in preventing inflammation. The time required for follow-up examinations in patients with periodontal disease calls for auxiliary personnel, especially the fully qualified dental hygienist.
