Supportive periodontal therapy (SPT) is needed for the success of periodontal therapy; however, patient compliance is poor. Part II of this study analyzes compliance during a 10-year period in an attempt to identify the profile of patients with a higher risk of becoming non-compliant. Data from the records of 874 patients from a private periodontal clinic who had completed active periodontal treatment up to 10 years before and had begun supportive periodontal therapy were analyzed for risk of non-compliance and compliance. The factors evaluated were gender (326 males and 548 females), type of therapy (surgical or non-surgical) and age (< or = 30 years, 31 to 40, 41 to 50, and > or = 51 years old) and the association amongst them. In the period studied, compliance with SPT was 45.8%. Forty-three percent of males and 47% of females discontinued SPT. In the surgical group 43.9% were non-compliant and in the non-surgical group 53.2% were non-compliant. Fifty-nine percent of the patients < or = 30 years of age were also non-compliant. Female patients < or = 30 years and > or = 51 years of age that underwent non-surgical therapy were found to be of higher risk for non-compliance in the 10-year period studied.
牙周支持治疗（SPT）是牙周治疗成功所必需的；然而，患者的依从性较差。本研究的第二部分分析了10年期间的依从性，试图确定不依从风险较高的患者特征。对一家私人牙周诊所874例患者的记录数据进行分析，这些患者在10年前已完成积极的牙周治疗并开始接受牙周支持治疗，分析其不依从和依从的风险。评估的因素包括性别（326名男性和548名女性）、治疗类型（手术或非手术）和年龄（≤30岁、31至40岁、41至50岁以及≥51岁）以及它们之间的关联。在研究期间，牙周支持治疗的依从率为45.8%。43%的男性和47%的女性停止了牙周支持治疗。手术组中43.9%不依从，非手术组中53.2%不依从。≤30岁的患者中有59%也不依从。在研究的10年期间，接受非手术治疗的≤30岁和≥51岁的女性患者被发现不依从风险较高。
