Evaluation of the participation of edentulous patients treated with implants in the supportive periodontal therapy (SPT) program and its relationship with their satisfaction with the treatment

Disease prevention around the implant should be an important motivation for the dentist and the patient. This maintenance should be done with a specific schedule and at regular intervals. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between the participation of completely edentulous patients treated with implants in the Supportive Periodontal Therapy (SPT) program and their satisfaction with the treatment. This descriptive cross-sectional study will be performed on 28 completely edentulous patients referred to Tabriz Dental School who are applying for implants. After obtaining informed written consent, patients whose implant treatment has been completed enter the study. The satisfaction rate was determined by the satisfaction questionnaire, and the participation rate was determined by the SPT program. The examinations will be performed in 4 stages (immediately at the starting point of the SPT program, 2 months later, and 6 months later). In control sessions, in addition to evaluating the GI (gingival index) to evaluate periodontal health, the initial phase of periodontal treatment is performed, and if additional treatments are needed, necessary measures such as radiography and planning for complementary therapies. Takes place. SPSS software version 20 will be used for data analysis. A probability value of less than 0.05 will be considered a significant level. If possible, the relationship between participation and patient satisfaction will be examined by Spearman correlation and linear regression.
