title: [Prospects for success in systematic periodontal treatments--a review of the literature].
abstract: Several short- and long-term studies were reviewed to determine which factors favored successful treatment of periodontal disease. Most of the surgical techniques reduced pocket depth. The modified Widman flap proved to be most favourable for maintenance and regeneration of supporting periodontal tissue in several studies when combined with optimal plaque control (home care) and frequent professional prophylaxis. Supervised oral hygiene measure are decisive in preventing periodontal disease.
