SDCEP periodontal care guidance 2nd edition published

The Scottish Dental Clinical Effectiveness Programme (SDCEP) published the second edition of the Prevention and Treatment of Periodontal Diseases in Primary Care NICE-accredited guidance in February 2024.

The updated guidance brings together the latest advice on periodontal disease classification and treatment within one resource. The guidance provides clear and practical recommendations and advice to enable the dental team to manage the periodontal health of all their patients, including those who are healthy and those who have a diagnosis of gingivitis or periodontitis. 

The guidance is published as a mobile-enabled website, https://www.periodontalcare.sdcep.org.uk/, with a pdf also available for download.
