EFICÁCIA DE PROTOCOLOS CLÍNICOS EM TERAPIA PERIODONTAL DE SUPORTE (TPS): UMA REVISÃO DE LITERATURA

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammation that leads to the destruction of the dental supporting tissues, often resulting in tooth loss. The treatment, consisting of supragingival and subgingival instrumentation, faces challenges such as the difficulty of cleaning in deep areas and the need for patient adherence to regular care. Supportive Periodontal Therapy (TPS) is essential for maintaining the results associated with periodontal health and controlling disease recurrence, and is composed of traditional and adjuvant approaches, such as Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy (aPDT), probiotics, subgingival polishing with air-polishing, among others. This literature review analyzes TPS protocols in terms of efficacy and applicability, suggesting that personalization of treatment, according to the patient's condition and adherence, is crucial for long-term success. It is concluded that the combination of innovative techniques with traditional practices and continuous patient education promote better results in periodontal stability.
