Abstract

Purpose: Periodontal disease significantly affects oral health and contributes to adult tooth loss worldwide. Minimally invasive periodontal surgery (MIPS) aims to enhance outcomes while reducing postoperative discomfort. The efficacy of such surgeries largely depends on postoperative care. This study evaluates the effect of personalized postoperative care plans on patient compliance and outcomes compared to standard care.

Design and methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 118 patients who underwent MIPS between April 2022 and March 2024. Patients were divided into a control group receiving standard care (n = 67) and an intervention group receiving personalized care (n = 51). Procedures included structured assessments of compliance, gingival health, pain, anxiety, depression, and satisfaction using validated scales.

Findings: Post-intervention, the personalized care group showed significantly improved gingival indices (BI, PLI, GI, SBI), compliance scores, and curative effect rates (p < 0.05). Pain (VAS score) and sensitivity were reduced (p < 0.05), alongside significant decreases in anxiety (SAS) and depression (SDS) scores (p < 0.01). Patient satisfaction rates were higher in the intervention group, with greater reports of 'very satisfied' experiences (p = 0.006). OHIP-14 scores indicated improved oral health quality in the personalized care group (p < 0.01).

Conclusion: Personalized care enhances compliance and long-term efficacy of MIPS through tailored interventions addressing individual patient needs, leading to improved clinical and psychosocial outcomes.
