ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the effect of patient compliance with supportive periodontal therapy (SPT) on tooth loss in Korean adults.METHODS:
The periodontal records of 134 patients were reviewed for this study. They completed active periodontal treatment from 1999 to 2001 and were placed on a schedule of periodic follow-up visits for SPT. Patient compliance was classified into complete compliance (CC), erratic compliance (EC), and noncompliance (NC) groups. Re-examinations were carried out 11.0+/-0.8 years after the active periodontal treatment. The prognosis for each tooth was determined as good, questionable, or hopeless according to the bone loss observed in pretreatment radiographs.RESULTS:
The rate of tooth loss of the CC group was significantly lower than that of the NC group. The tooth loss/patient and the tooth loss/patient/year were not significantly different between the three groups. The rates of tooth loss in the good, questionable, and hopeless prognosis groups were 6.7%, 9.5%, and 13.2%, respectively. For the teeth with a good prognosis, the rate of tooth loss of the CC group was significantly lower than that of the NC group (0.4% vs. 5.1%). For the teeth with a questionable prognosis, the CC group showed a significantly lower rate of tooth loss than did the EC group (4.1% vs. 30.7%) or the NC group (4.1% vs. 25.6%). For the teeth with a hopeless prognosis, the rates of tooth loss were not significantly different among the three groups.CONCLUSIONS:
Within the limits of this study, the patients who showed a poor compliance with SPT were more likely to lose teeth than were the regularly compliant patients. However, the risk of tooth loss with a hopeless prognosis was high irrespective of the compliance.
