Abstract

Prognosis is a statistical measure of the likely outcome for an individual who undergoes periodontal
treatment. Determining prognosis at an early stage before treatment planning would help the clinician to
render the periodontal treatment in confidence. The prognosis is determined by assessing the factors which
could make the outcome of rendered treatment favorable as well as the factors which can negatively affect
the outcome. Therefore, it is crucial for the clinician to judge the prognosis with his knowledge, expertise
and patient’s compliance. This review outlines all the factors which could possibly affect the prognosis and
the clinical application of the same.
