Periodontal Disease Test

Periodontal Disease Test

The existence and seriousness of periodontal disease (PYORRHOEA) must be assessed through a clinical study carried out by a specialist (your dentist or your periodontist in serious cases). However, in order to help you, a group of specialists (P.I. Eke et al.) from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention de Atlanta (USA) and the American Academy of Peridodontology has created a questionnaire validated by the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) of the United States.
