Periodontal Treatment Without Maintenance: A Retrospective Study in 44 Patients
Abstract
T his study presents our findings on 44 patients who were treated for periodontal disease and for varying reasons elected not to participate in the maintenance aspect of periodontal care. All patients were initially given intensive instructions in personal oral hygiene, along with initial scaling and root planing. Each patient had two or more quadrants of pocket reduction therapy. Tooth mortality revealed a mean annual adjusted tooth loss rate of 0.22 (4.7%). Between examinations, breakdown in the health status of furcations was noted. Mean probing depth scores at the second examination showed no significant differences from the first examination scores. Measurements of bone levels revealed a worsening of bone scores between examinations. The results of this study show that periodontal therapy without maintenance is of little value in terms of restoring periodontal health.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
