(1) Periodontal pockets can be treated successfully by several modalities of surgery. (2) Periodontal pocket walls do not have to be eliminated surgically in order to stop the progress of periodontal disease. (3) A residual defect which can be probed beyond 3 mm at the site of a previous peridontal pocket, does not signify a progressive lesion as long as it does not appear inflamed or contain, exudate and bleeds when probed. (4) The most important aspect of all pocket therapy is to make the exposed root surface biologically acceptable to the surrounding soft tissues. (5) The gingiva should be so closely adapted to the teeth at the end of the healing following treatment that subgingival plaque does not colonize to the extent of being recognizable clinically. (6) Frequent professional prophylaxis is of paramount importance for success of all pocket therapy.
(1) 牙周袋可通过多种手术方式成功治疗。(2) 为阻止牙周病进展，不必通过手术切除牙周袋壁。(3) 若在先前牙周袋部位可探及超过3毫米的残余缺损，只要该部位无炎症表现，探查时无渗出物及出血，则不表明病变在进展。(4) 所有牙周袋治疗中最重要的方面是使暴露的根面在生物学上能为周围软组织所接受。(5) 治疗后愈合结束时，牙龈应与牙齿紧密贴合，以使龈下菌斑不会在临床上可识别的程度上定植。(6) 对于所有牙周袋治疗的成功而言，定期专业洁治至关重要。
