Phase 1 treatment is complete after the patient undergoes scaling and root planning, followed by a successful postoperative report from the 6-week re-evaluuation appointment. This 6-week re-evaluation appointment is the first of the SPT appointments. During the early stage of periodontal disease and at the end of phase 1, the periodontium has the best chance to reverwse the diseased state and, in many cases, halt the progression of further oral systemic diseases.
After phase 1 therapy is complete, a patient is now and forever considered a periodontal patient. This means that regular SPT is a must to prevent active disease. A regular prophy just won't do.
