• 1 other identifier: Effectiveness of SRP
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 110

Brief Summary

This study will retrospectively evaluate the outcomes of scaling and root planing over a two year time period. The study will focus specifically on the effectiveness of SRP in pockets with an initial pre-treatment pocket probing depth of ≥ 5 mm and ≤ 8 mm. The study will also examine the response to SRP of all initial pocket depths, i.e., those PPD that fall below or above those in the indicated range, to verify the findings of previous studies.
