Is there a cure for periodontitis? Will it always recur? Dr. Pan said “the right treatment for periodontal disease and thorough maintenance will stop it from recurrence.” The chance for recurrence is great for most of patients who have received periodontal treatment. The alveolar bone resoprtion and gum recession usually take place after treatment. Root and crown ratio is disproportional with greater crown portion. Insufficient root in the alveolar sulcus leads to instability upon occlusion. Moreover, the difficulty in cleaning every surface of each tooth is increased. Calculus gradually deposit and periodontitis recurrence is inevitable. The correct treatment for periodontitis which targets gum recession and elongated crown length will prevent recurrence.
