Currently in SPT — what's the situation?

Stable, or recurrence detected? Re-entry routes the patient to the appropriate step.

Recurrence assessment

Compare against the patient's last documented stable state. Localised PD ≥ 5 mm with BOP suggests Step 2 re-entry. Generalised deep pockets with vertical bony defects suggest Step 3. Otherwise the patient is stable — continue risk-adapted SPT.

Your decision

Stable
→ Continue SPT
  • PD ≤ 4 mm at all sites
  • No BOP
  • No new attachment loss
Recurrence — localised
→ Re-enter Step 2
  • Localised PD ≥ 5 mm
  • Localised BOP
  • No clear surgical defect
Recurrence — surgical defect
→ Step 3 (surgery)
  • Residual deep pockets
  • Vertical bony defect
  • Need for surgical management
