title: [Periodontal treatment failure].
abstract: Therapeutic failure appears to be more frequent in periodontology than in other fields of dentistry. Such failure may be caused by errors in patient selection, incomplete diagnostic procedures, diagnostic or prognostic errors, treatment difficulties and obstacles, non-controlled healing, or the absence of maintenance therapy. Most failures can be avoided by instituting a regular recall system.
