Abstract
Chronic periodontitis is the inflammatory diseases of the supporting tissues of teeth caused by micro-organisms resulting in progressive destruction of the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone with pocket formation, recession, or both. Mechanical debridement of supra-gingival and subgingival biofilms, together with adequate oral hygiene measures is the standard periodontal therapy. Nonsurgical periodontal therapy which aims to eliminate both living bacteria in the microbial biofilm and calcified biofilm microorganisms still remains the gold standard and first recommended approach to control periodontal infection. This article would highlight about the long term follow-up and management of chronic periodontitis cases through non-surgical periodontal therapy and its importance and efficacy in day to day clinical practice. Key words: Chronic periodontitis, nonsurgical periodontal therapy, efficacy.
