Please read this essay, Success of non-surgical periodontal therapy in adult periodontitis patients: A retrospective analysis.

Subgingival debridement was found to be an effective treatment in reducing the probing pocket depth and improving the clinical attachment level. Treatment results in a pocket depth reduction due to recession of the gingiva and gain in clinical attachment level. When a pocket depth smaller or equal to 5mm is reached, the treatment can be considered successful. Various factors have an impact on the success of active non-surgical periodontal therapy.

Please summarize how scaling and root planning are done. If you have any questions, post them in the comment section to develop a discussion with other students and professors.
