[Late results in surgical treatment of periodontal diseases].
The authors re-examined 102 patients who had undergone periodontal surgical intervention 1--15 years ago. In 50% the results were good, in 25% they were mediocre, and in 25% they were poor. The results from gingivectomies were better than those from flap operations. The operation results were better in younger patients. The proportion of lost teeth was 14%. Oral hygiene was unsatisfactory in 65,7% of the cases. The relatively unfavourable results may be explained by the tardiness of intervention and the neglect of oral hygienic measures.
