Why is it important?
Chronic periodontitis patients will most probably need repeated episodes of mechanical instrumentation during their life time and it has been shown that short periodontal treatment regimes have practical benefits. Nevertheless when patients are only seen once to receive initial treatment in a single visit, oral hygiene reinforcement and motivation may be compromised and this seems to have a negative impact on the treatment outcome.
