Abstract:

Traditional treatment methods for periodontitis include surgical periodontal treatment and non-surgical perio-dontal treatment, which includes supragingival scaling, subgingival scaling, and root planning. The effectiveness of these treatments is clear, but certain limitations are observed. The effect of non-surgical treatment may be affected by residual dental calculus because of unclear vision and difficulty in direct vision. Surgical treatment may also be difficult to apply because of patient contraindications or fear of surgery. Periodontal endoscopy has visibility and minimally invasive pro-perties. It can guide doctors to observe and remove subgingival calculus more clearly with minimal damage, thereby achieving ideal treatment outcomes and improving patient satisfaction. It can also be applied to assist in the diagnosis of periodontal disease, periodontal surgery, and treatment of peri-implantitis. It can also deepen students’ understanding of periodontal diagnosis and treatment in clinical teaching. Although its diagnosis and treatment effectiveness still have certain limitations and controversies, it provides novel insights and methods for the clinical prevention and treatment of periodontal diseases. This article provides a review of the application of periodontal endoscopy in clini-cal diagnosis and treatment.

Key words: periodontitis, periodontal endoscopy, periodontal non-surgical treatment, periodontal surgical treatment, diagnosis, oral clinical teaching
