Effective non-surgical periodontal therapy is fundamental to achieve and maintain periodontal health, particularly in individuals who are susceptible to periodontitis. This article aims to highlight current evidence and published guidance, together with personal insights and suggestions from the author's clinical experience to help with management of patients utilising this common treatment modality.
