This condition was also supported by study that stated, if the area has not completely healed in 7 to 10 days, a disturbance in healing should be suspected.7 This is most commonly due to the presence of local irritants, either calculus that has not been removed or plaque that re- accumulated.2 If generalized delay in the healing of the entire curetted area occurs, a systemic interference should be suspected.13 The study revealed that periodontitis patient who undergone curettage procedure showing reduction of LOA clinically, either in the anterior or posterior teeth.	cache/mkg-1087.pdf	txt/mkg-1087.txt
