Abstract

The European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) has recently developed an S3-level clinical treatment guideline for stages I to III periodontitis, based upon a rigorous standardised process involving 15 systematic reviews of current evidence and their synthesis by a representative group of experts and stakeholders. The aim is to guide the practitioner through the complex plethora of periodontal management options and to facilitate pragmatic decision-making in full knowledge of the evidence base.

In this webinar, Prof Kebschull, a driving factor behind the guideline development, will present the structured, stepwise treatment protocols developed by the EFP guideline group and highlight selected specific clinical recommendations.
