Overview

Clinical practice guideline reports a three-step strategy for acute periodontal conditions in dental patients, highlighting standardized protocols to control pain, infection, and tissue damage.

Key Points

To develop an evidence- and consensus-based S2k-level clinical practice guideline for the diagnosis and management of acute periodontal conditions, necrotizing periodontal diseases, periodontal abscesses, and endodontic-periodontal lesions.
Followed methodological guidance from the Association of Scientific Medical Societies in Germany and the GRADE framework.
Commissioned two systematic reviews to synthesize available evidence, supplemented by a structured consensus process involving international experts and stakeholders.
Structured recommendations across three sequential stages: diagnostic confirmation via 2018 classification criteria, rapid initial intervention, and definitive subsequent care.
Prioritized immediate relief of pain and arrest of active tissue destruction during the acute phase, followed by targeted resolution of underlying chronic disease to prevent recurrence.
