Many practices are realizing there’s more to the treatment of periodontal disease than just cleaning and polishing. The treatment plan should be used to establish the methods and sequence of delivering appropriate periodontal treatment, which may include non‐surgical, surgical, regenerative, and cosmetic periodontal therapy or dental implant placement.

Locally administered antibiotics have an advantage in that they are targeted right at the source of infection: the antibiotic is absorbed right through the epithelium on contact, so there are effective therapeutic levels exactly where they are most needed.15,16 Systemic antibiotics pass through the digestive system, where much of the active medication is absorbed and metabolized before it even reaches the target area.

Subsequent treatment can proceed in several ways, depending on the initial response. Counting and tracking bleeding points is another strong compliance motivator. Communication is essential so that everyone is always on the same page. 1999;70(1):13-29. The classic model is a linear progression that starts at health and moves to gingivitis, then periodontitis, with its associated bone loss, bleeding, and radiographic evidence of disease.
