The American Academy of Periodontology has developed the following parameter on the treatment of "refractory " periodontitis. 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. No treatment is very likely to result in further progression of the disease and eventual tooth loss. Given this information, patients should then be able to make informed decisions regarding their periodontal therapy.
美国牙周病学会制定了以下关于“难治性”牙周炎治疗的参数。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。不治疗很可能导致疾病进一步发展并最终导致牙齿缺失。在获得这些信息后，患者应该能够就他们的牙周治疗做出明智的决定。
