Periodontal Therapy. Just clean teeth.

The author commends the treatment approach used by Suzanne Newkirk, a perioscopy trainer and practitioner, and Dr. Bob Gottlieb, a periodontist, to treat a 39-year-old female patient with advanced chronic periodontitis. She includes a critical analysis of the treatment approach from an evidence based perspective, and mentions that the treatment included the "gold standard" of scaling and root planning with dental endoscope assisted ultrasonic instrumentation.
