Assessing periodontal health and the british society of periodontology implementation of the new classification of periodontal diseases 2017

Periodontal disease is a highly prevalent, chronic, inflammatory condition which is a major contributor to tooth loss and poor oral health-related quality of life. For the vast majority of patients, the disease is entirely preventable/manageable often aided by input from dental health professionals. As dental health professionals, understanding the periodontal disease process, the risk factors associated with it, standardized ways of detecting, diagnosing and monitoring the disease, along with the special tests needed to aid this process are essential skills for successful disease management. This article summarizes the need for assessing periodontal disease including key aspects of detection, a brief history of periodontal disease classification and the new classification. The paper goes on to discuss the British Society of Periodontology implementation plan of new classification and how this can be utilized for use in general dental practice. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This paper introduces the practitioner to the 2017 Classification of Periodontal Disease along with how this is implemented in general dental practice. The paper provides useful cases for practice as well as flowcharts to aid diagnosis.

Endodontic Disease

The interrelationship between periodontal and endodontic disease has always aroused confusion, queries, and controversy. Differentiating between a periodontal and an endodontic problem can be difficult. A symptomatic tooth may have pain of periodontal and/or pulpal origin. The nature of that pain is often the first clue in determining the etiology of such a problem. Radiographic and clinical evaluation can help clarify the nature of the problem. In some cases, the influence of pulpal pathology may cause the periodontal involvement and vice versa. The simultaneous existence of pulpal problems and inflammatory periodontal disease can complicate diagnosis and treatment planning. An endo-perio lesion can have a varied pathogenesis which ranges from simple to relatively complex one. The differential diagnosis of endodontic and periodontal diseases can sometimes be difficult, but it is of vital importance to make a correct diagnosis for providing the appropriate treatment. This paper aims to discuss a modified clinical classification to be considered for accurately diagnosing and treating endo-perio lesion.

The Relationship

ABSTRACT Periodontal disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus are considered chronic diseases that at their core have a deep relationship with inflammation. It is assumed that there is a bidirectional relationship between periodontal disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is estimated that approximately 10% of the world’s population is affected by periodontal disease, in its most severe form, almost the same percentage estimated for people with diabetes, which is considered a 21st century emergency. The World Workshop for the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-implant Diseases and Conditions took place from September 9-11, 2017. The aim of this study is to analyze the results of this workshop with regard to the relationship between periodontal diseases/conditions and diabetes mellitus, in addition to conducting an integrative review on the topic. A literature review was conducted, using the Medline electronic databases via Pubmed, Scientific Electronic Library Online, Scientific and Technical Literature of Latin America and the Caribbean and Virtual Health Library. A new classification of periodontal disease included tools for individual assessment of the patient and recognizing risk factors that might negatively interfere in response to treatment. The occurrence of metabolic lack of control in periodontal patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus is now considered a factor of great importance for the assessment of individual susceptibility to the progression of periodontitis. Diabetes is believed to promote a hyper inflammatory response to bacterial challenge by modifying the tissue response of periodontal tissues.

The routine scale and polish is the most commonly performed treatment procedure in general dental practice. With a large proportion of state dental health expenditure in the UK and Ireland being used to provide ‘routine scale and polish’ treatments, it is necessary to establish the true value of this treatment for patients. In this narrative review, we discuss the available evidence regarding provision of the routine scale and polish. Based on the available studies, there is little evidence to support the use of the routine scale and polish alone for the prevention of periodontal disease. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This paper evaluates the evidence surrounding the routine provision of scaling and polishing for the prevention of gingivitis and periodontitis.

On 14th April 2010, a national research summit meeting for oral and dental researchers was held at Sheffield University. The event was organised by Professor Paul Speight, President of the British Society for Oral and Dental Research (BSODR) and Dean of the School of Clinical Dentistry, University of Sheffield. The summit was jointly sponsored by the BSODR, the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Oral and Dental Specialty Group and the Health and Science Committee of the British Dental Association (BDA). Sixty invited participants took part. They included the Faculty of General Dental Practice (UK) Chair of Research and its two National Research Facilitators, along with Faculty members who attended as representatives of other organisations. The purpose of the meeting was to bring together the leaders of oral and dental research in the United Kingdom (UK) to consider the achievements of research in this field in the UK and how it could develop in the future.

Systematic Methodology

Endo-periodontal lesions present a number of challenges for clinicians. These include understanding their underlying aetiology, forming an accurate diagnosis and suitable prognosis and subsequently formulating an effective treatment strategy. This article aims to provide a summary of the literature available in the areas highlighted above, with particular reference to the recent joint American Academy of Periodontology and European Federation of Periodontology (AAP/EFP) world workshop for classification of periodontal and peri-implant diseases. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This paper outlines important aspects a clinician must consider, including anatomy, a systematic methodology for assessment and introduction of the new classification of periodontal diseases in diagnosis. Prognosis and formulation of appropriate management strategies are explored.
