Abstract

It is generally accepted that treatment of any case of periodontal disease is dependent upon correct analysis of etiological factors. Treatment must include local procedures to remove all causes of local irritations, and to place the mouth in such a condition that the patient can keep it in a state of health. This often must include occlusal equilibration, splinting of teeth, and surgical intervention. Coupled with this must be careful attention to the patient's general health, daily home care by the patient, and regular check-up examinations. If these general procedures are followed adequately, results will be good; if any one of them is neglected, failure will result.
