Study Summary
Investigators hypothesize that good oral hygiene may inhibit P. gingivalis, a keystone periodontal pathogen, entering mature dental plaque, which leads to a higher ratio of S. cristatus and P. gingivalis. Investigators will educate and train periodontitis patients following periodontal therapy to maintain periodontal health. Initial and intense education of periodontal health maintenance will be provided and the ratio of S. cristatus and P. gingivalis in dental plaques will be compared and analyzed for correlation between patient's execution of periodontal health maintenance and education tools or the ratio of S. cristatus and P. gingivalis.
Primary Outcome
1\. Improvement of periodontal condition Response to periodontal treatment will be determined by a composite measure including 1) Plaque Index; 2) Gingival index; 3) Cemento-enamel junction, gingival margin, probing, and bleeding on probing from six sites on all teeth. The patients will be considered to have improved, non-changed, and worsening periodontitis, according to clinical measurements and comparison them with those before treatments.
