Objective To analyze the impact of high-quality nursing on patients' self-care ability and oral health in the care of chronic periodontitis. Methods 80 patients with chronic periodontitis admitted to our hospital from January 2023 to October 2025 were randomly divided into two groups. The control group (n=40) received routine care, while the observation group (n=40) received high-quality care. The self-care ability and periodontal index of the two groups were compared. Results After intervention, the periodontal index (GI, SBI, PLI, PD) of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05); The self-care ability score of the observation group after intervention was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Carrying out high-quality nursing in the care of chronic periodontitis can help improve patients' periodontal index, establish good oral health awareness, enhance patients' self-care ability, and promote the rapid recovery of chronic periodontitis.
