- Abstract
The current S3 clinical practice guideline for the treatment of periodontitis in stage I to III recommends a stepwise therapeutic approach. Accordingly, all periodontitis patients first undergo step 1 of therapy and then step 2. The aim of the second step of therapy is to remove the subgingival soft (biofilm) and hard (calculus) deposits on the root surface by hand and/or machine instrumentation and thus to enable a resolution of the periodontal inflammation. After a critical review of the scientific evidence, the S3 guideline has taken a position on different approaches and also on the complementary use of adjunctive procedures and gives corresponding recommendations, which are presented here. In the new periodontal treatment directive, measures of therapy step 2 can be found under “Anti-infective therapy (AIT).” After the second step of therapy, both the S3 guideline and the periodontal treatment directive recommend a reevaluation to determine whether the therapeutic endpoint has been achieved or whether further measures (step 3 of therapy) are required.
