What is the periodontal status?
At the beginning of a therapy, initial findings such as bleeding, plaque index, pocket depth and mobility of the tooth are recorded. This investigation, in which the findings are collected, is called periodontal status. The findings should reach a certain value at the end of the periodontal therapy. This ensures that the inflammatory bone loss is stopped.
