Abstract

Background and Objective: This systematic review is intended to explore healthcare provider's perceptions of the application of advanced periodontal therapies and perceived effects on person's oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). The analysis will follow the categorization by providers’ perceptions of patients' accepting treatment and 'effectiveness of treatment' also we will evaluate views of significant risk factors that may significantly affect the outcome.Materials and Methods: A thorough search for publications between 2010 and 2022 was performed using PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. Studies included related to the attitudes of dental healthcare professionals toward innovative periodontal therapies such as laser treatment, regenerative surgery, and digital technology and their effects on patient-reported outcomes and satisfaction. A systematic approach to collect and summarize relevant data was undertaken.Results: The review noted 10 publications that complied with the inclusion criteria. The results indicated that clinicians understand current periodontal technologies and therapies can improve clinical outcomes, alleviate discomfort for patients, and enhance OHRQoL. Clinicians reported that current technology facilitates more engagement and acceptance of therapies by patients.Conclusion: Dental healthcare practitioners are essential for patients receiving the best periodontal therapy for their needs. To maximize clinical outcomes and OHRQoL, the patient himself or herself needs to be educated, and health care practitioners must collaborate on decisions about therapy.
