A Case Report of Initial Periodontal Therapy for Generalized Severe Periodontitis (Stage Ⅱ Grade B)

doi:10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2025.03.016

Abstract

Abstract: This article systematically documents the complete treatment process of a case with generalized stage Ⅱ grade B periodontitis, following the S3-level clinical practice guidelines of the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP). By demonstrating the synergistic effects of initial periodontal therapy and supportive periodontal care (SPC), we aim to enhance dental practitioners' understanding of standardized periodontal treatment. Clinical practice has proven that standardized initial periodontal therapy combined with long-term SPC monitoring can effectively control disease progression, maintain treatment outcomes, and reduce recurrence risk. This systematic treatment approach provides a reliable clinical solution for reducing the burden of periodontal diseases.

Key words: severe periodontitis, initial periodontal therapy, supportive periodontal care
