Abstract
Introduction: Today, non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) is used to treat periodontal diseases. The concept of illness perception refers to an individual's beliefs concerning the cause, nature and management of the disease, enabling the patient to understand their condition and better cope with associated challenges.This study investigated illness perception in relation to this type of therapy.
Materials and Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted in the dental treatment centers of Isfahan on patients requiring phase I (non-surgical) periodontal treatment. Patients completed the demographic information checklist and the illness perception questionnaire at two time points: once before the treatment and once between two weeks to one month after treatment. Statistical tests were performed at a significance level of 5% using SPSS software version 27.
Results: The findings of this study show that non-surgical periodontal treatment affects the participants' perception of their disease. The emotional and cognitive mean scores have decreased significantly after the treatment, and the ability to understand the disease variable has also increased significantly. It was observed that the variables of gender, age, cognitive, emotional and the ability to understand the disease (before treatment) were not relevant to disease improvement. Also, the greater the severity of the periodontal disease is, the higher the average score of illness perception can be. However, no significant difference was observed in the changes of illness perception before and after the treatment, between different levels of periodontal disease severity.
Conclusion: Illness perception changes before and after non-surgical periodontal treatment and influences patients' coping behaviors. However, no specific relationship was observed between the clinical improvement of periodontal disease and illness perception among patients.
