Introduction | Cycles: [1][2][3][4][5][6] | Conclusion
This comprehensive periodontal examination should be carried out on all patients. This will ensure that patients are given the best of dental diagnostic services.
Periodontal disease is easy to treat in its early stages but it takes careful attention and documentation to detect early changes.
Advanced periodontal disease is difficult to treat but is easy to detect... patients often feel loose teeth and swollen gums.
Patients on regular maintenance intervals should have a periodontal exam at least once per year.
If the patient has active periodontal disease the examinations should be done every three months.
