patient40:Estimate future risk of periodontitis progression and responsiveness to standard therapeutic principles, to guide intensity of therapy and monitoring.Estimate potential health impact of periodontitis on systemic disease and the reverse, to guide systemic monitoring and cotherapy with medical colleagues.

       A new classification scheme for dental implants was developed by the workshop, including the following: peri-implant health, peri-implant mucositis, peri-implantitis, and peri-implant soft and hard tissue deficiencies.

      Conclusion

      The diagnosis represents the first stage and one of the most critical phases in the sequence of treatment for periodontal patients. An appropriate and accurate diagnosis is essential for continuing with the next phases of treatment (establishing an etiology, prognosis, treatment plan, etc). Without a proper diagnosis, the treatment plan may be incomplete or even harmful to the patient. Consequently, it is of paramount importance to understand and properly utilize the multitude of tools pertaining to the acquisition of data for the creation of a diagnosis. Last, while some of these parameters may be of greater diagnostic value than others, the diagnosis should be formed based on the information obtained from all these different tools and methods of examination, including both clinical and radiographic evidence. Relying on a single parameter can also result in incomplete or inadequate diagnosis.
