Abstract:
Periodontal disease is the main cause of tooth loss in adults, and it is also one of the major factors affecting oral and general health. In the process of diagnosing and treating the oral diseases, many subspecialties of stomatology will involve in the maintenance of periodontal tissue health. The Chinese Stomatological Association organized a number of experts in related disciplines to thrash out the present expert consensus in order to enhance the awareness of dental clinicians to maintain the health of periodontal tissues and to standardize the procedures of diagnosis and treatment. The clinicians' abilities in prevention and treatment of oral diseases will be hopefully elevated if the clinicians, especially in such disciplines as prosthodontics, orthodontics, oral implantology, operative dentistry and endodontics, can early recognize and identify the periodontal disease and the damage degree of periodontal tissues, adopt the appropriate intervention measures and predict the prognosis scientifically.
