Immediately after initial cause-related (ICRT), subjects were allocated into two treatment groups: (NS) or (S) therapy. Clinical data recorded at baseline (Phase I) review II). Direct indirect estimated from patients' perspective Ringgit Malaysia (RM) using activity-based costing methods. Indirect was calculated via productivity loss. The total average RM1115.68 for NS group RM4558.28 S group. 46% 66%of these attributed while 54% 34%to direct groups respectively. Treatment charges lost highest In conclusion, management postgraduate periodontic clinic, Faculty Dentistry UiTM considered substantial comparable other non-communicable diseases higher compared by government-based Periodontic Specialist clinics Malaysia.
