PEREIRA, Adriana de Fátima Vasconcelos et al. Critical view phase of maintenance in the context of periodontal therapy. Odontol. Clín.-Cient. (Online) [online]. 2011, vol.10, n.1, pp. 25-29. ISSN 1677-3888.

With the periodontal maintenance it is possible to reach the goals to prevent or to reduce the recurrence and progression of periodontal disease, to diminish the incidence of teeth loss and to increase the probability to diagnosis and to treat, in proper intervals, other illnesses or systemic conditions found in the oral cavity. However, only a small piece of the population practices its self-care correctly and returns for the recall in the scheduled frequency. The increase of the cooperation is related intrinsically to the persistence of the professional in identifying, in the beginning, non collaborator patients. Considering periodontal maintenance as an essential part of the therapy, the aim of the literature review was to evaluate its importance in order to preserve periodontal health after the active treatment, to know the prevalence and the features of the patients who cooperate with this phase of the treatment, to identify the factors that they make the maintenance difficult and to establish the most efficient behaviors for compliance with the purpose of achieving success for the relationship between professional and patient.
