Description
Summary:Background The new classification system for periodontal and peri-implant diseases mentioned a few key points, including (1) "clinical gingival health," which was defined for the first time, and (2) staging and grading system. Thus, the present study defines the practicability of using the current classification system in day-to-day practice. Aim The primary aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the new classification system for periodontal and peri-implant diseases and its application in routine dental practices. Materials and methods This is a cross-sectional retrospective, non-interventional study consisting of 4,993 patients who were under active periodontal therapy as well as supportive periodontal therapy. Results Among patients diagnosed with dental biofilm-induced gingivitis with no underlying risk factors, 1105 (73.3%) exhibited bleeding on probing and 897 (45%) showed supragingival or subgingival calculus. Among the stage II grade B periodontitis group, 488 (28.9%) showed beginning destructive periodontal disease and 197 (50.4%) showed established destructive periodontal disease. Conclusion The implementation of the new classification system in routine dental practice has been readily accepted by clinicians. Staging and grading system of classification helps in assessing the severity, extent, and progression of disease.
