  • Title: Patient evaluation.
    Author: Oliver RC.
    Journal: Int Dent J; 1977 Jun 02; 27(2):103-6. PubMed ID: 267620.
    Abstract:
    Failure to diagnose periodontal disease is a frequent and unnecessary error. A new periodontal screening examination has been proposed that will accurately detect periodontal disease in approximately five minutes and can be incorporated into a routine dental examination. Simplified treatment planning based on the findings of the periodontal screening examination has also been proposed. Its use could significantly improve the quality of periodontal care for most dental patients.
