A comparison of a modified periodontal scoring system with Russell's periodontal index

Health Behaviors and Their Relation to Metabolic Control and Periodontal Status in Type 2 Diabetic Patients: A Model Tested Using a Linear Structural Relations Program

“…The gingivitis index (GI) was recorded according to criteria used by Jackson. 22 The periodontal examination (probing depth, PD) utilized the 6 index teeth (2,9,12,18,25,28) suggested by Lilienthal et al 23 Pearson's correlation was used to provide preliminary information about the associations between the 12 selected parameters (7 medical/dental variables and 5 behavior components). Statistical analyses were conducted using software programs.…”

Comparison of health behaviour and oral/medical conditions in non‐insulin‐dependent (type II) diabetics and non‐diabetics

“…26 Plaque observation was facilitated by the use of a commercially available disclosing solution. The periodontal examination utilized six selected teeth (17,21,24, 37, 41, 44) suggested by Lilienthal et al 27 A standardized probe ‡ was used for measuring the probing pocket depth (PPD) of six surfaces (mesiobuccal, midbuccal, distobuccal, mesiolingual, m i d buccal, and distolingual) of each tooth. In addition, tooth mobility (TM) of the six index teeth was recorded according to a modification of criteria used by Feldman et al 28 in that each was scored from 0 to 3.…”

Validity of Anterior Segment Gingival Scores In Epidemiological Studies

“…More recently Lilienthal, Amerena and Gregory (1964) 5 have shown that Ramfjord's concept produces a valid assessment of the over-all periodontal state which has the same accuracy as full mouth scores provided that the size of the sample is half as great again. McHugh, Ewen and Hitchin (1964) G also chose a limited number of sites, 21/1, 56 , but did not state why these were not truly symmetrical.…”
