Abstract

Introduction: active periodontal maintenance therapy seeks to limit the inflammatory response by mechanically removing bacterial deposits.

Objective: to determine the effectiveness of active periodontal maintenance therapy to preserve dentition in patients treated for periodontitis.

Methods: a concise search was carried out on the published literature based on a period of time between the months of June and September 2023 with the implementation of internet websites, such as Pubmed, Scielo, Scoopus, Elsevier. Information was limited in articles published in English and Spanish. The articles were analyzed by their titles, year of publication between 2018 and 2023.

Results: active periodontal maintenance therapy (SPT) is defined as a comprehensive treatment depending on the individual risk of each patient, its main objective is to minimize the recurrence of the evolution of periodontal disease in patients previously treated for periodontitis, minimize tooth loss and the appearance of other diseases associated with the periodontium. Its application is a critical factor for the success of the treatment; Thus, the use of continuous treatment with periodic intervals is based on actions to control bacterial plaque, favoring the repair of periodontal tissues during dentition.

Conclusions: active periodontal maintenance therapy is an essential part of the treatment by allowing periodontal stability to be maintained. The data collected show that patients can benefit from each periodontal follow-up visit, since they obtain personalized and precise evaluations.
