Abstract Non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) remains the cornerstone of periodontal disease management, offering effective treatment for gingivitis and mild to moderate periodontitis while serving as the initial phase of therapy for severe cases. This review examines the fundamental principles, clinical techniques, adjunctive therapies, and evidence-based outcomes of NSPT. The primary objectives include elimination of subgingival biofilm, reduction of pocket depths, and establishment of a maintainable periodontal environment. Contemporary NSPT encompasses mechanical debridement through scaling and root planing, supplemented by patient education, antimicrobial agents, and host modulation strategies. Evidence demonstrates significant clinical improvements in probing depths, clinical attachment levels, and bleeding indices following NSPT. Success depends on multiple factors including disease severity, patient compliance, operator skill, and appropriate maintenance intervals. While NSPT effectively manages most periodontal conditions, understanding its limitations and indications for surgical intervention remains essential for optimal patient outcomes.
