Comparativa de la clasificación de la enfermedad periodontal 1999 y 2017.

Abstract

The classification of periodontal diseases and conditions created in 1999 by the author Armitage had a validity of 18 years, being of great help, but there were deficiencies in it, which caused the physician not to have a solid criterion to diagnose and treat the different patients presenting periodontal problems. In 2017, a global consensus was generated co-sponsored by the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) and the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP), in which scientists from all over met to update knowledge and thus make modifications to the classification. In 2018, the new periodontal classification and peri-implant diseases and conditions were generated, and they are divided into four groups: I. Periodontal health, gingival diseases, and conditions; II. Forms of periodontitis; III. Periodontal manifestations of systemic diseases and acquired developmental conditions and IV. Peri-implant diseases and conditions.
