A systematic review of definitions of periodontitis and methods that have been used to identify this disease

Abstract: This review has confirmed previous work which has suggested that epidemiological studies of periodontal diseases are complicated by the diversity of methodologies and definitions used. The studies that were reviewed utilized a minimum diagnostic threshold defining periodontitis, at a given site in terms of CAL of 2 mm and PPD of 3 mm.

“…Healthy periodontal tissues are characterized by the absence of inflammatory, atrophic, traumatic and oncogenic pathological changes. [6] Diseases of periodontium are among the most widespread diseases of mankind. Chronic marginal gingivitis and periodontitis are, by far, the most prevalent periodontal pathologies with a microbial etiology.…”

“…However, BPE has the potential to underestimate the prevalence of periodontal breakdown in populations with less susceptibility or overestimate the prevalence when based on the measurements of lifetime cumulative attachment loss (32,33,34). In contrast, full mouth charting assessments as performed in a number of epidemiological studies will provide optimal examination of periodontal conditions (35). Although it is desirable to record as many sites as possible to increase the probability of detecting disease prevalence, one of the main drawbacks of full mouth assessments is that it can be time consuming.…”
