“…Several methods, including the BPE, CPITN, and PSR, are available to assist dentists in assessing and detecting periodontal disease during routine dental examinations. The participants in this study mostly reported using BPE and CPITN as periodontal screening methods, depending on their personal preferences and training, similar to other studies on periodontal screening [ 12 , 13 , 14 ]. Nearly all tools used for periodontal health screening assess the most severe pocket depth but no further information about the loss of interproximal attachment is assessed.…”

“…The module is also aligned with the most recent guidelines for the classification of periodontal disease [ 11 ]. Other periodontal screening tools available for this population are in the form a questionnaire and designed for self-assessment by the patients rather than for use by GDPs [ 12 ].…”

“…Panellists of three periodontists, two dental public health specialists, two periodontics specialist trainees, and a general dentist were selected to be involved in the development of this module. An online self-guided version of the periodontal health screening module was developed based on the British Society of Periodontology’s Basic Periodontal Examination (BSP 2019) guidelines, the Periodontal Risk Assessment (PRA) based on Lang and Tonetti’s [ 11 ] risk categories, periodontitis self-assessment [ 12 ], the Malaysian Association of Dental Public Health Specialist-Colgate Palmolive Malaysia kit (MADPHS-CP 2016), and the 2017 Classification of Periodontal and Implant Diseases [ 9 ].…”

As a silent disease, individuals at risk of periodontitis are not easily identified until the disease has become severe. Early detection at the community level is essential, especially for general dental practitioners. The aim of this study was to design a comprehensive, user-friendly tool to screen patients’ periodontal health at community level and to evaluate users’ acceptance of its use. The periodontal health screening module was first developed by an expert panel of periodontists, public health specialists and general dentists. The developed module was tested for content acceptance on 156 graduating dental students from three public schools and later validated by 12 private general dental practitioners (GDPs) for reliability. Most of the students (64.1%) found the new module an easy assessment tool for periodontal health compared to the Basic Periodontal Examination (BPE). Most claimed that they understand the contents (80.8%) and accepted the designs (86.6%) and agreed (82.7%) that the new assessment module would allow them to screen patients anytime in the clinic. The interrater reliability as assessed between the GDPs and the investigators revealed acceptable agreement ranging from 62.5–100.0% (mean 89.6 ± 10.2%). The simplified digital periodontal health screening module showed promising acceptance for application in private general dental clinics.
