Conventional periodontal therapy

Conventional periodontal therapy is a treatment for chronic periodontitis, a gum disease that affects the tissue and bone that support the teeth. It is typically done in four sessions and includes scaling and root planing under local anesthesia, if necessary. This form of treatment is a sine qua non-aspect of periodontal therapy. It is usually a combination of mechanical debridement (professional and personal biofilm disruption) and scaling and root planing. Additionally, medical issues can influence the progression and treatment of periodontitis.
