T he significance of recurrent gingivitis related to maintenance of post‐treatment pocket depth and clinical attachment levels was tested in 78 patients over 7 years of maintenance care with prophylaxis every 3 months. Under the experimental conditions the severity of the recurrent gingivitis did not significantly affect the pocket depth and attachment levels.
