What is complete periodontal evaluation?
A complete periodontal evaluation is a systematic assessment of the periodontal tissues around every tooth, including probing depths at six points per tooth, clinical attachment levels, bleeding on probing, mobility, furcation involvement, and radiographic review. Findings are staged using current AAP/EFP classifications and used to build a personalized treatment plan.
What the evaluation includes
Six-point probing depths and clinical attachment levels around every tooth, bleeding indices, recession measurements, tooth mobility, furcation involvement, and review of full-mouth radiographs or 3D CBCT imaging when indicated.
A review of your medical and dental history, current home care, and risk factors such as smoking, diabetes, and family history of periodontal disease.
How findings are used
Your periodontal status is staged and graded using current AAP/EFP classifications. From there, we build a treatment plan tailored to your findings — which may range from improved home care and periodontal maintenance to non-surgical scaling and root planing, surgical pocket reduction, or regenerative procedures for sites with significant attachment loss.
