The American Academy of Periodontology has developed the following parameter on the treatment of chronic periodontitis with slight to moderate loss of periodontal supporting tissues. Patients should be informed of the disease process, therapeutic alternatives, potential complications, expected results, and their responsibility in treatment. Consequences of no treatment should be explained. Failure to appropriately treat chronic periodontitis can result in progressive loss of periodontal supporting tissues, an adverse change in prognosis, and could result in tooth loss. Given this information, patients should then be able to make informed decisions regarding their periodontal therapy.
美国牙周病学会针对牙周支持组织有轻度至中度丧失的慢性牙周炎治疗制定了以下参数。应告知患者疾病进程、治疗选择、潜在并发症、预期结果以及他们在治疗中的责任。应解释不治疗的后果。未能适当治疗慢性牙周炎可导致牙周支持组织的渐进性丧失、预后的不利变化，并可能导致牙齿脱落。了解这些信息后，患者应能够就其牙周治疗做出明智的决定。
