Healing events after nonsurgical periodontal therapy in patients with periodontal pockets 4-7 mm deep were investigated. Incisors, cuspids and premolars in 15 patients were treated by plaque control and supra- and subgingival debridement using hand or ultrasonic instruments in a split mouth approach. Recordings of plaque scores, bleeding on probing, probing pocket depths and probing attachment levels were evaluated. All these parameters were improved during the initial 4-5 mo. after start of therapy. Little change occurred during the rest of the 13-mo. observation period. No difference in results could be observed comparing hand and ultrasonic instrumentation or comparing the results of 2 different operators. A total of 106 sites demonstrated probing pocket depths .gtoreq. 6 mm. At 13 mo., only 13 such sites were observed. The apparently successful results of conservative treatment of patients with 4-7 mm deep pockets in the present study raise the question as to what extent nonsurgical therapy is feasible in patients with severely advanced lesions.
