Scientific evidence for the effect of sub-gingival biofilm control
Masato Minabe
This mainly summarizes the article, as Key Review, "Clinical significance of non-surgical periodontal therapy; An evidence-based perspective of scaling and root planning (SRP)" with an additional explanation on key contents. Also a part of the general report and other related articles are introduced. Other helpful references for understanding SRP are found in Worksites, parts of which are on the structured abstract, to enable citations. Figures are modified from original work in order to be helpful for a better understanding of the material and for further explanatory purposes, e.g. to assistants and patients. The "Q & A" section is designed to bring acquired knowledge into the actual clinics. By using Key Review and Q & A, the concept of today's non-surgical periodontal therapy, based on scientific evidence, can be gained. In the future, progress in clinics and laboratories or a change in society's needs may necessitate additional contents and modifications.
