    Background: Periodontal conditions are estimated to infect approximately 19% of the worldwide adult population, constituting more than one billion cases globally. Surgical periodontal therapy is recommended for treatment of deep pockets that are non-responsive to non-surgical periodontal therapy. While the overall treatment phases for periodontal disease are well documented in the literature, there remains significant uncertainty regarding the evidence to select the best options within these phases. Research is crucial to minimize this uncertainty and to compare various options for periodontal treatment outcomes. Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of surgical treatment of periodontitis carried out at the Periodontology Department of the University of the Western Cape, Tygerberg Oral Health Centre. Methods: A cohort record-based, retrospective analysis was carried out on 72 patients who underwent surgical periodontal therapy at Tygerberg Oral Health Centre between 2016 and 2022. Data was obtained from patients’ files and postgraduate students’ log books. The final treatment outcome of surgical periodontal procedures was analyzed by assessing and comparing pre- and post-surgical treatment periodontal parameters.
