Abstract
Eleven highly susceptible periodontitis patients volunteered for a one -year prospective study of surgical and non-surgical periodontal thera py. The patients had high oral hygiene standards and had not received antimicrobial therapy within six months. This study suggests that both types of therapy are equally effective in treating recurrent lesions.
