Abstract

The role of patient education is extremely important in maintaining oral hygiene and oral health. It is even more important when the patient has had a periodontal surgery. Patient education is a simple process if the goals and content of education are understood. Motivation is a rare consequence of this education until additional reinforcement and rewards are used. The subject is discussed in a simple manner in this chapter, and the importance of oral hygiene methods and oral hygiene maintenance is simultaneously discussed
