FAILURE OF PERIODONTAL THERAPY

Abstract

Periodontal treatment failures seem to arise relatively frequently, possibly because, among other reasons, the periodontist works in a field characterized by the presence of plaque, and the marginal periodontium remains more or less exposed to microorganisms-depending on the intensity and quality of oral hygiene primary care. Studies have shown that modern periodontal therapies are effective in maintaining a healthy natural even after successful dentition as well as controlling periodontal disease. Numerous treatment strategies and various techniques have been designed & described to treat periodontal disease. Most of these procedures had drawbacks which were identified, leading to the modifications of the original techniques which lead to better treatment options, but still very less emphasis has been laid on failures. Without a regular program of clinical re-evaluation, plaque control, oral hygiene instructions, and reassessment of biomechanical factors the benefits of treatment are often lost and inflammatory disease in the form of recurrent periodontitis may result. So, this review describes the most common failures noticed in periodontal therapies and also discusses the possible solutions to reduce the incidence of failures in periodontal therapy.
