Periodontitis is the second most common disease of the oral cavity and affects majority of the population. Periodontal disease is an inflammatory condition that exhibits a complex interaction between pathogenic bacteria, environmental and acquired factors and host related factors. One of the most common causative factors for the disease is dental plaque. In the last few decades, there have been several advances in the treatment modalities for the same. Therefore, the aim of various treatment options is the eradication of dental plaque. The methods range from something as simple as tooth brushing and oral hygiene practices to those administered by a dental professional. There are various chemical methods and mechanical methods for the same. There are also certain methods like the usage of mouthwashes and local drug delivery that can be used in addition to any type of periodontal therapy. The therapeutic modalities can be surgical or non‑surgical. Keeping the patient at the centre of equation, non‑surgical periodontal therapy is more acceptable to the patient and is also easy to perform and not very complex. In the present review, several options for the management of periodontal disease through non‑surgical periodontal therapy have been discussed along with recent advances for the same.
