Step 1: The document outlines the sequence of procedures for periodontal therapy. It begins with plaque control instruction in the first appointment where the patient learns to correctly brush their teeth focusing on the gingival third and use floss. This targeted oral hygiene emphasizes thorough plaque removal around periodontal tissues. The multiple appointment approach allows the dentist to evaluate and improve the patient's oral hygiene skills over time.

Step 1: Plaque Control Instruction. Plaque control is the
essential component to successful periodontal therapy, and instruction should begin in the first treatment appointment. The patient must learn to correctly brush the teeth, focusing on applying the bristles at the gingival third of the clinical crowns of the teeth, and begin using floss or other aids for interdental cleaning. This is sometimes referred to as targeted oral hygiene18 and emphasizes thorough plaque removal around the periodontal tissues. The multiple appointment approach to phase I therapy permits the dentist to evaluate, reinforce, and improve the patients oral hygiene skills. (Chapter 44 details plaque control options.)
