title: [Efficiency of follow-up programs in periodontal patients--review of the literature].
abstract: Follow-up programs for periodontally treated patients may largely prevent loss of teeth and attachment. Consequently they are an indispensable part of periodontal treatment. The success of treatment hinges on the recall interval which should be determined individually (to 6 month for most patients), as well as on diagnosis and treatment, which need to be modified in accordance with the specific requirements of the follow-up. It is under discussion whether individual parts of the follow-up program should be handled by adequately trained assistant staff.
