Pocket closure · Adults (> 18 years) with recurrent periodontitis, receiving supportive (maintenance) periodontal care
2 findings from 1 review
Three studies evaluated the proportion of closed pockets three months after treatment (Campos 2013; Grzech-Lesniak 2019; Ruhling 2010); studies used different criteria to measure this outcome. All studies reported an…
