Abstract
Studies have shown that modern periodontal therapies are effective in maintaining a
healthy natural dentition as well as controlling periodontal disease. Numerous treatment
strategies and various techniques have been designed & described to treat periodontal
disease. Most of these procedures had drawbacks which were identified, leading to the
modifications of the original techniques which lead to better treatment options, but still
very less emphasis has been laid on failures. Without a regular program of clinical
reevaluation, plaque control, oral hygiene instructions, and reassessment of biomechanical
factors the benefits of treatment are often lost and inflammatory disease in the form of
recurrent periodontitis may result. So, this review describes the most common failures
noticed in periodontal therapies and also discusses the possible solutions to reduce the
incidence of failures in periodontal therapy.
