Comparison of full-mouth and partial-mouth disinfection modalities in nonsurgical periodontal treatment for periodontitis: A randomized clinical trial in Vietnam

Periodontitis is the most common form of periodontal disease, greatly affecting the aesthetics, function as well as patient’s quality of life. In the periodontal disease treatment strategy, nonsurgical treatment is considered as the initial phase for anti-infection and soft-tissue management. This study aims to compare the effect of two nonsurgical periodontal modalities: one-stage full-mouth and partial-mouth protocols for periodontitis.
