Comparação dos parâmetros clínicos periodontais em pacientes com e sem terapia de manutenção periodontal.

Abstract

The Supportive periodontal therapy (TSP) is an important phase in the successful treatment of periodontal disease. Therefore, this study aimed to compare periodontal clinical parameters in patients who underwent periodontal treatment and who are in TPS: (G1), with those patients who did the periodontal treatment and are no longer returned to TPS :( G2). Eighteen patients participated in this longitudinal comparative study, which were evaluated immediately before the baseline periodontal treatment and 12 months later. The following parameters were evaluated: Visible plaque index (IPV), probing bleeding (ISS), probing depth (PS) and number of missing teeth (DP). Data were analyzed by the Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon statistical tests for all variables analyzed using a significance level of 5%. G1 presented a significant difference when compared to G2 at 12 months in the IPV (p=0,015), but the intragroup analysis did not show a statistically significant reduction of both groups during the evaluated periods. G1 presented a significant reduction in the depth of the survey comparing the evaluated periods (p=0,038). However, there was no intergroup difference or G2 (intragroup). In the ISS, there was no significant difference between the groups nor intragroup within the evaluated periods. PS showed a significant reduction in G1 in the intragroup comparison, this difference was not observed in G2 nor in the comparison between the groups. In the comparison between the groups for PD the result was significant in both periods evaluated (baseline: p= 0,05; 12 months: p=0,04), this difference was not observed in the intragroup analysis.
