Compliance and its role in successful treatment of an advanced periodontal case: review of the literature and a case report
Abstract
Periodontal disease is a chronic disease that is perceived by many patients to be nonthreatening. Periodontal therapy has been shown to be less effective if a regular periodontal maintenance schedule is not followed after completion of active therapy. Periodontal maintenance is an integral part of successful periodontal therapy.
