Tobacco use: Research has indicated that smoking and tobacco use are one of the most important factors in the development and progression of gum disease. Periodontitis is common, but largely preventable. It's often the result of poor oral hygiene. Brushing your teeth at least twice a day, flossing every day, and having regular dental checkups can greatly improve your chances of succeeding in treating periodontitis and may also reduce your chances of developing it.
While there have been significant advances in periodontal therapy, there is no cure for gum disease. Even after successful corrective therapy and surgical intervention, gum disease can recur. For most patients with periodontal disease (about 90%), regular periodontal cleanings have been shown to be effective in preventing the recurrence of gum disease. This phase is an essential part of the treatment.
This can often be the most important part of therapy. The present study aimed to evaluate the recurrence rate of periodontal disease and its related factors in periodontal patients without regular follow-up.
