A 30-year retrospective cohort outcome study of periodontal treatment of stages III and IV patients in a private practice

The findings suggest that retrospective studies with shorter observation times cannot automatically be projected onto the outcome of a lifetime of periodontal treatment.PMID:37726161 | DOI:10.1111/jcpe.13877
