Measuring periodontitis in population studies: a literature review

Abstract: Case definitions used to identify periodontitis significantly affect the prevalence and risk estimates from population studies. A plethora of definitions has been employed by researchers since the 1940s. The variation in disease definitions affects the comparability and validity of the estimates. This study aimed to review case definitions of periodontitis in prevalence and risk population studies. PubMed and MedIine were searched for the following keywords: "Periodontitis" AND "cross sectional/case control/ep… Show more

“…Therefore, the severity of periodontal disease can be estimated by the degree of CAL [4][5][6]. The clinical diagnosis of periodontitis is based on the measurement of presence and extent of periodontal pockets, loss of clinical attachment, pattern and extent of alveolar bone loss, or a combination of these means [7]. The measurement of CAL can be obtained by measuring the distance from the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) down to the lowest point at the bottom of the pathological periodontal pocket using a graduated periodontal probe [4,5].…”

“…In the study of Stoltenberg et al (2005), the mean pocket depth >3.5mm has described severe chronic periodontitis, but according to Jacob 9 , the pocket depth >3mm indicates moderate/moderate periodontitis. In the study Torrungruang 10 classifies the average CAL value >4mm is included in the category of severe, but in the study preliminary 11 criteria for the average loss of attachment (attachment loss/AL) are grouped into five categories: very mild to very severe, i.e., 0 -1mm, 1.1 -1.5mm, 1.6 -2.0mm, 2.1 -2.5mm, and >2.6mm.…”
