ABSTRACT

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the treatment compilation rate among patients undergoing periodontal flap surgery. The purpose of the study was to determine the treatment completion rate among patients undergoing periodontal flap surgery in Saveetha Dental College and Hospital. A hospital based cross- sectional study was conducted for 373 patients undergoing periodontal flap surgery attending Saveetha Dental College and Hospital from June 2019 to March 2020. The data were gathered through semi-closed ended questionnaires and clinical examinations. Treatment completion rate among patients undergoing periodontal flap surgery was assessed by student’s independent t-test or one way analysis of variance. Results showed that 71% of patients in the 31-50 year old age group, 54% patients in the 18-30 year old age group and 55% of the patients in the 51-80 years old age group completed their periodontal flap surgery treatment.Data analysis was done using a chi- square test to compare between the association of age with the treatment completion of patients undergoing periodontal flap surgery, Chi-square- 20.292;df-1;p-0.000; the results were statistically significant (P=0.000). Within the limitations of the present study, it was encountered that the majority of the patients aged 31- 50 years old completed periodontal flap surgery treatment.
