title: [Psychological aspects on the treatment with periodontal surgery].
abstract: In a pilot study on psychological aspects of periodontal treatment more than 90% of 95 patients gave a positive rating of our approach of periodontal surgery by quadrants in cases of profound periodontitis. On the basis of their own experience with this course of surgery more than 90% of patients would recommend periodontal treatment to others. The results of our questionnaire survey confirm that their is no reason for doing periodontal surgery at one appointment. About half of the patient showed a reduction of their anxiety level in the course of surgical periodontal treatment. With increasing interval (1 year) a minor part of the patients partly modified their opinion on some of the questions asked.
