Abstract
A Periodontal classification has been constantly changing from 1997 classification to the 1999 classification as we dive into the depth of the periodontium we discover easier ways to classify and diagnose the disease in the dental practise. What is the aim of classification to adopt a “reductionist model” to create a system that could be implemented efficiently in general practice and distinguishes the severity and extent of periodontitis (a reflection of the amount of periodontal tissue loss) as well as the patient’s susceptibility for periodontitis (reflected in the historic rate of periodontitis progression) Why do we need new classification ?Since 1999, substantial new information has emerged from population studies, scientific research and prospective studies looking at environmental and systemic risk What has changed? In the 2017 the classification has been changed to allow for the first time the diagnosis to include clearly periodontal health or gingivitis ex. periodontium reduced or intact.
