Study Notes
Periodontal Disease Classification
- A classification system aids in diagnosing, treating periodontal and peri-implant diseases, and communicating findings to healthcare providers and insurance.
- Established in 2017 by the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) and the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP).
Understanding Classification
- Classification systems regroup similar entities based on differing characteristics, similar to categorizing vehicles.
- They facilitate orderly study of the etiology, pathogenesis, and treatment of periodontal diseases.
Evolution of Classification
- A disease classification system is adaptive, reassessed, and redefined with new evidence; not a permanent structure.
- Expectation of continuous evolution over time as more information becomes available.
Functionality of a Classification System
- Provides necessary information for:
- Accurate communication among dental health providers
- Diagnosing and individualized treatment planning
- Prognosis prediction
- Insurance information submission
Historical Context
- Previous periodontal disease classification was developed nearly 20 years ago, in 1999.
- The first internationally accepted system is the 2017 AAP/EFP Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions.
Classification Categories (2017)
- Four main categories:
- Periodontal Health, Gingival Diseases, and Conditions
- Periodontitis
- Other Conditions Affecting the Periodontium
- Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions
Subcategories in Detail
-
Periodontal Health, Gingival Diseases, and Conditions:
- Periodontal Health & Gingival Health
- Dental Biofilm-Induced Gingivitis
- Non-Dental Biofilm-Induced Gingival Diseases
-
Periodontitis:
- Necrotizing Periodontal Diseases
- Periodontitis
- Periodontitis as a Manifestation of Systemic Disease
-
Other Conditions Affecting the Periodontium:
- Systemic Diseases impacting periodontal tissues
- Periodontal Abscesses and Endodontic-Periodontal Lesions
- Mucogingival deformities and conditions
- Traumatic Occlusal Forces
- Tooth and prosthesis-related factors
-
Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions:
- Peri-Implant Health
- Peri-Implant Mucositis
- Peri-Implantitis
- Peri-Implant Soft & Hard Tissue Deficiencies
Specific Subcategory Associations
- Classification for healthy gingival conditions includes:
- Clinical gingival health on an intact periodontium.
- Clinical gingival health on a reduced periodontium, applicable to stable periodontitis and non-periodontitis patients.
