"Background: 

Scheduled maintenance appointments after periodontal treatment are very much critical for the success of the treatment. This is necessary for patients seeking to prevent disease recurrence and maintain oral health

Materials and Methods: 

In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis to assess the efficacy of various maintenance intervals in preventing disease recurrence among patients with a history of periodontal treatment. We gathered data from a diverse group of patients who had undergone periodontal treatment and tracked their oral health over an extended period.

Results: 

Our findings reveal compelling insights into the optimal maintenance intervals. Patients who attended maintenance appointments at three-month intervals showed a significant reduction in disease recurrence by 40%, compared to those at six-month intervals. Moreover, those on annual intervals experienced a disease recurrence rate of 60%

Conclusion: 

In conclusion, our study underscores the importance of regular maintenance appointments after periodontal treatment. Patients who attend appointments every three months have a significantly lower risk of disease recurrence. These findings emphasize the need for tailored maintenance schedules to ensure long-term oral health."
