Application of adjunctive periodontal treatment modalities as part of non-surgical therapy of periodontitis

Abstract

This manuscript aims to elucidate the importance of non-surgical periodontal treatment as a prerequisite for achieving periodontal health. To accomplish a local tissue environment related to periodontal health many clinical strategies for restoring the balance between bacteria and host are introduced. In this manuscript, we will provide a short description of the different possible adjunctive modalities that supplement the standard initial periodontal therapy.
