[Conservative periodontal therapy and its indication in stomatological general practice].

The term of "conservative periodontal therapy" covers all therapeutical measures with the exception of surgical interventions. Since each periodontal therapy constitutes a complex of various measures, it seems to be more favourable to subdivide it, on principle, into continuous phases, which results in advantages for the methodics of treatment planning and performance. The contents of the hygienizing, correcting and stabilizing phase of periodontal therapy are expressed in words and tables.
