TLDR
How the new classification for periodontal diseases and conditions presented in this volume differs from the classification system developed at the 1989 World Workshop in Clinical Periodontics is summarized.Abstract:
Classification systems are necessary in order to provide a framework in which to scientifically study the etiology, pathogenesis, and treatment of diseases in an orderly fashion. In addition, such systems give clinicians a way to organize the health care needs of their patients. The last time scientists and clinicians in the field of periodontology and related areas agreed upon a classi- fication system for periodontal diseases was in 1989 at the World Workshop in Clinical Periodontics.1 Subsequently, a simpler classification was agreed upon at the 1st European Workshop in Periodontology.2 These classification systems have been widely used by clinicians and research scientists throughout the world. Unfortunately, the 1989 classification had many shortcomings including: 1) considerable overlap in disease categories, 2) absence of a gingival disease component, 3) inappropriate emphasis on age of onset of disease and rates of progression, and 4) inadequate or unclear classification criteria. The 1993 Europea...read more

TL;DR: A systematic review and meta-analysis on nonsurgical treatment of patients with chronic periodontitis by means of scaling and root planing (SRP) with or without adjuncts found approximately a 0.5-millimeter average improvement in CAL with SRP.

Antibiotics/antimicrobials: systemic and local administration in the therapy of mild to moderately advanced periodontitis
Karin Jepsen,Søren Jepsen +1 more
TL;DR: The slight additional benefits of adjunctive antimicrobials, which were shown for moderate forms of periodontitis, have to be balanced against their side effects and therefore their prescription should be limited as much as possible.

Oral Fluid–Based Biomarkers of Alveolar Bone Loss in Periodontitis
TL;DR: Timely detection and diagnosis of disease may significantly affect the clinical management of periodontal patients by offering earlier, less invasive, and more cost‐effective treatment therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outcome of implant therapy in patients with previous tooth loss due to periodontitis.
TL;DR: A small sample size and the methodological quality assessment of the two studies suggest that the results should be interpreted with caution, however, further long-term studies focusing particularly on the outcome of implant treatment in young adults with aggressive periodontitis are needed before final conclusions can be drawn.
Journal ArticleDOI
Residual periodontal pockets are a risk indicator for peri-implantitis in patients treated for periodontitis.
TL;DR: It is the maintenance ofperiodontal health rather than a previous history of periodontitis that is the critical determinant of increased risk of peri-implantitis, highlighting the importance of effective periodontal therapy and maintenance in patients with a history of Periodontitis.

Natural history of periodontal disease in man. Rapid, moderate and no loss of attachment in Sri Lankan laborers 14 to 46 years of age.
TL;DR: In this paper, the initiation, rate of progress of periodontal disease and consequent tooth loss in a population never exposed to any programs or incidents relative to prevention and treatment of dental diseases was described.

Periodontal Diseases: Epidemiology
TL;DR: Although prevalence figures vary with race and geographic region, in most cases, the progression pattern of the disease seems compatible with the retention of a functional dentition throughout life, and most recent data indicate that periodontal disease may confer risk for coronary heart disease and pre-term low birth weight.

New concepts of destructive periodontal disease.
TL;DR: Comparison of monitored loss rates for a year with mean loss rates prior to monitoring suggested that there may be relatively short periods in an individual's life in which many sites undergo periodontal destruction followed by periods of extended remission.
