How should perio maintenance be tailored?

  1. Based on a fixed schedule

  2. Identical for all patients

  3. Tailored to the patient's needs

  4. Only according to disease severity

The correct answer is: Tailored to the patient's needs

Perio maintenance should be tailored to the patient's needs because every patient is unique and may require different frequencies of maintenance based on their individual oral health condition, risk factors, and response to treatment. A fixed schedule or identical maintenance for all patients may not address the specific needs of each individual, leading to suboptimal outcomes. Tailoring perio maintenance to the patient's needs ensures personalized care and improved overall oral health outcomes.
