Question:
Preliminary screening in large populations CPITN (Community Periodontal Index of Treatment
Needs)
Answer:
Measure pockets, bleeding and dental biofilm retention factors using cpitn probe PDI (Periodontal
Disease Index) -✓✓-Ramfjord teeth (3, 9, 12, 19, 25, 28) Irreversible & reversible Measures
prevalence & severity of periodontal disease
Question:
Measures both the reversible (gingival) & irreversible (attachment loss) of periodontal disease GI
(Gingival Index)
Answer:
-Reversible Based on severity of inflammation and location
Question:
Can be used to determine prevalence and severity of gingivitis in cohort groups as well as
individuals PI (Periodontal Index)
Answer:
-Russell Irreversible Each tooth is scored according to the condition of surrounding tissue
, Question:
