Abstract
COVID-19 has imposed tremendous burden on the healthcare systems and healthcare professionals worldwide. As periodontitis and peri-implantitis are chronic diseases, regular recall visits play a critical role in management of these conditions; however, the current situation may stop patients from attending their regular maintenance. Therefore, it may be necessary to reconsider and revise the treatment protocols.
