- Abstract
There is controversy over how results from periodontal therapies completed at university dental clinics can be applied to routine dental practice. Therefore, a multicenter retrospective study investigated tooth loss in patients who underwent periodontal therapy at four German university dental clinics: Kiel, Greifswald, Heidelberg, and Frankfurt am Main. The aim was to better understand the specifications of individual treatment concepts. The results of these studies are presented and discussed in this three-part article: parts 1 and 2 have already appeared in previous issues of PARODONTOLOGIE (May 2022 and September 2022). At the 4 university centers, 896 patients were enrolled at baseline, after active (APT) and supportive periodontal therapy (SPT). Despite cohort-specific differences, including the length of the median follow-up period of 7 to 18 years, all centers documented a low annual tooth loss of ≤ 0.15 teeth per patient during concept-based SPT. Consequently, SPT must be individualized and performed regularly to maintain periodontal stability in the long term. In the following, some therapy-specific details of the respective centers (including specific regional differences that provide better understanding) and the original scientific publications are discussed in a manner relevant to daily practice.
