AAP Periodontal Disease Classification Animation β Sponsored by J&J
TLDRThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, along with the American Academy of Periodontology, report that nearly half of American adults suffer from periodontitis. In response, a new evidence-based classification system for periodontal diseases was introduced in 2018, which includes a multi-dimensional staging and grading system. This system accounts for disease severity, treatment complexity, tooth loss, rate of progression, and risk factors, emphasizing the individualized nature of the disease. The process involves three steps: assessing the level of disease through clinical examination, establishing the stage based on disease severity and complexity, and grading the rate of progression and response to treatment. The grading system categorizes patients into grades A, B, or C, based on the rate of disease progression, with adjustments for factors like smoking habits and glycemic control. The script underscores the importance of clinical judgment and a holistic approach to patient care for personalized treatment strategies.

Q & A
What is the prevalence of periodontitis among American adults according to the CDC and the American Academy of Periodontology?
-Almost half of American adults have some form of periodontitis.
When was the new evidence-based classification system for periodontal diseases introduced?
-The new classification system was introduced in 2018 following a consensus conference of global leaders in periodontology.
What does the new multi-dimensional staging and grading system for periodontitis consider?
-The system considers severity, treatment complexity, tooth loss due to periodontitis, rate of disease progression, and risk factors.
What are the three steps involved in staging and grading a patient with periodontitis?
-Step one is to assess the level of disease, step two is to establish the stage based on disease severity and complexity, and step three is to establish the grade indicating the rate of progression, responsiveness to therapy, and impact on systemic health.
What does the clinical examination for assessing the level of disease in periodontitis include?
-The clinical examination includes full mouth probing depths, clinical attachment loss, full mouth radiographs, and missing teeth due to periodontitis.
How is the stage of periodontitis determined?
-The stage is assigned based on the severity and complexity of the disease at the most affected site, with stages 1 and 2 indicating mild to moderate periodontitis and stages 3 and 4 indicating severe periodontitis.
What does stage 1 of periodontitis represent?
-Stage 1 is incipient periodontitis, with bone loss within the coronal 15% of the root and probing depths equal to or less than 4 millimeters.
What are the characteristics of stage 2 periodontitis?
-Stage 2 represents progression beyond incipient periodontitis, exhibiting bone loss within 15 to 33% of the root and probing depths equal to or less than five millimeters.
What factors determine the distinction between stage 3 and 4 periodontitis?
-The distinction between stage 3 and 4 is determined by the extent of tooth loss due to periodontitis or by assessing the complexity of the periodontal and overall treatment required.
How is the grade of periodontitis determined?
-Grading indicates the rate of periodontitis progression, anticipated responsiveness to standard therapy, and potential impact on systemic health. The grade can be assigned using the ratio of percent bone loss to patient's age at the most affected site and considering grade modifiers such as smoking habits and glycemic control.
What is the significance of grading in the context of periodontitis treatment?
-Grading helps in understanding the rate of disease progression and the patient's anticipated response to treatment, which aids in developing a personalized approach to patient care and a comprehensive treatment strategy.
Why is it important to use clinical judgment and a holistic assessment when staging and grading a patient with periodontitis?
-Using clinical judgment and a holistic assessment ensures that the classification of the patient's condition is reasonably accurate, taking into account multiple variables and the individualized nature of the disease, rather than relying on a single factor.
Outlines
π¦· Introduction to Periodontitis Classification
This paragraph discusses the prevalence of periodontitis among American adults and introduces a new evidence-based classification system for periodontal diseases established in 2018. The system is multi-dimensional, considering factors like severity, treatment complexity, tooth loss, rate of disease progression, and risk factors. It emphasizes the individualized nature of the disease and its response to treatment. The process for staging and grading a patient involves three steps: assessing the level of disease, establishing the stage based on severity and complexity, and determining the grade which indicates the rate of progression and response to therapy.

Highlights
Almost half of American adults have some form of periodontitis according to the CDC and the American Academy of Periodontology.
A new evidence-based classification system for periodontal diseases was introduced in 2018 following a global consensus conference.
The new system uses a multi-dimensional staging and grading system for periodontitis, similar to those used in medicine.
The system considers severity, treatment complexity, tooth loss due to periodontitis, rate of disease progression, and risk factors.
The classification framework highlights the individualized and complex nature of periodontal disease in each patient.
There are three steps to staging and grading a patient: assessing the level of disease, establishing the stage, and establishing the grade.
Clinical examination includes full mouth probing depths, clinical attachment loss, and full mouth radiographs.
Stage 1 and 2 indicate mild to moderate periodontitis without tooth loss, while stages 3 and 4 indicate severe periodontitis.
Stage 1 is incipient periodontitis with bone loss within the coronal 15% of the root and probing depths β€ 4mm.
Stage 2 represents progression beyond incipient periodontitis with bone loss within 15-33% of the root and probing depths β€ 5mm.
Stage 3 or 4 is assigned if teeth were lost or planned to be removed due to periodontitis or if deep defects are present.
The distinction between stage 3 and 4 is determined by the extent of tooth loss or the complexity of the required treatment.
In stage 4 cases, a greater extent of tooth loss requires extensive rehabilitation.
Grading indicates the rate of periodontitis progression, the anticipated responsiveness to therapy, and potential impact on systemic health.
Grade A signifies a slow rate of progression, grade B a moderate rate, and grade C a rapid rate.
A patient's grade can change over time based on their clinical history or risk profile.
A practical approach to assign the grade is to use the ratio of percent bone loss to patient's age at the most affected site.
Grade modifiers such as smoking habits and glycemic control can influence disease progression and severity.
Staging and grading should not be based solely on a single variable and should involve a holistic assessment using clinical judgment.
Personalized patient care and comprehensive treatment strategy are developed based on the patient's specific needs.
