German term or phrase: Recall

Hello! I do not understand what this term means in German. It appears to be an English word used in a context were it doesn't seem to fit. What do you think the author means by this?
"Bie diesen Patienten sollte im engmaschigen Recall die Mundhygiene kontrolliert unde supra- und subgingivale Konkremente entfernt werden.

Wiedervorstellung (für Kontrolluntersuchung)

Explanation:
Here it means that the dentist should encourage the patient to come back regularly at short intervalls for check up (and treatment).

The link has nothing to do with dentistry but it's the same idea.
