title: [Patient education in periodontal health].
abstract: To achieve a successful periodontal treatment result, a good and lasting co-operation between therapist and patient is essential. For this reason, the patient must be adequately informed about the development, symptoms and treatment of periodontitis and about the necessity of a high level of self performed oral hygiene. Individual information and instruction by the dentist and dental hygienist is most suited in these cases.
