AAP treatment guidelines stress that periodontal health should be achieved in the least invasive and most cost-effective manner. This is often accomplished through non-surgical periodontal treatment, including scaling and root planing from deep periodontal pockets, followed by adjunctive therapy such as local delivery antimicrobials and host modulation. The field of periodontology is continually changing. Dentists must stay abreast of the latest researches in periodontal treatments in order to offer the most comprehensive therapy for patients. With the recent studies indicating a possible correlation between periodontal disease and cardiovascular disease, it is even more imperative to remain current in knowledge of the diseases as well as the new treatment modalities as they become available. (Beck et al., 2009)

Non-surgical treatment of patients with gingival and periodontal diseases can be undertaken by the general dental practitioner through the management of common and well-established risk-factors and the use of treatments adjunctive to conventional methods of scaling and root surface instrumentation. The goals and objectives of these procedures and the importance of supportive periodontal care are fully examined in this book.
