| Abstract: |
Periodontal therapy remains a cornerstone of dental practice. However, effectively managing periodontitis patients throughout the continuum of care can be challenging. This article proposes a communication framework and an integrated fee model designed to support evidence-based comprehensive treatment protocols while enhancing patient education, motivation, and long-term adherence. By emphasizing prevention and patient-centered care, the proposed approach contrasts with the dominant reactive model, often focused on surgical interventions and the extraction of salvageable teeth. Instead, this approach advocates for a shift toward a proactive, value-based paradigm that prioritizes periodontal health maintenance, aligns clinician and patient goals, and fosters sustained engagement throughout treatment.
