| Summary: | Both surgical and nonsurgical treatments are
definitely effective in ameliorating periodontal condition. In nonsurgical
treatments, pocket elimination is not an essential part but subgingival
infection control is the main objective which can eliminate inflammation, stop
destruction, form new attachments, decrease pocket depth (following edema
decrease) and finally result in long junctional epithelium formation. In short
term, surgery can eliminate pocket depth more effectively although after a
while this difference would become less. Besides, nowadays according to
infectious nature of periodontal diseases systemic and local antimicrobials are
used along with nonsurgical and mechanical treatments specially in rapidly
progressing periodontitis, HIV related periodontitis and refractory
periodontitis . Therefore, the most appropriate and simplest treatment plan
should be selected according to the type of periodontal disease. |
