Epidemiology of Periodontitis course for Dental Practice
This session describes the principles of periodontal epidemiology. It outlines the current deficiencies in periodontal epidemiology and gives brief details of recent national studies and new guidelines, which were published in May 2015.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Describe indices that are used in periodontal epidemiology
- Recognise the problems in periodontal epidemiology relating to what to measure, how to measure, examiner consistency
In practical terms, where commonly occurring diseases, such as dental caries or periodontal diseases are concerned, it is not possible to investigate or examine the entire population, so only a sample is examined. The selection of a representative sample is therefore of paramount importance.
Before commencing this session you should complete the sessions:
- Periodontal Disease and Management/Periodontal Diagnosis and Determination of Prognosis/Basic Periodontal Examination (BPE) (141-0167)
- Periodontal Disease and Management/Periodontal Diagnosis and Determination of Prognosis/Periodontal Assessment (141-0168)
