TI  - Assessment of periodontal disease in an adult population survey in Taipei city 
      using CPITN and GPM/T indices.
PG  - 67-74
AB  - The community periodontal index of treatment needs (CPITN) has been recommended 
      for epidemiological surveys of periodontal status and treatment needs. The 
      prevalence of gingivitis, periodontitis and missing teeth in a study population 
      has been determined using the CPITN and GPM/T (gingivitis: periodontitis: missing 
      teeth) indices. In this study, a survey of periodontal disease was performed 
      among the adult population of Taipei City using the CPITN index. A total of 673 
      dentated persons (male 339, 50.4%; female 334, 49.6%) were examined and surveyed. 
      Data were then divided into five age groups, 15-19, 20-29, 30-44, 45-64 and 64+. 
      The prevalence of periodontal disease was analyzed using the percentage or 
      sextant from all teeth. Treatment needs were determined by the worst periodontal 
      score per sextant. It was found that about 91% of subjects suffered from various 
      degrees of periodontal disease in at least one tooth. Gingivitis and 
      periodontitis were 86.9% and 33%, respectively. Among them 48.9% had missing 
      teeth. The prevalence of periodontitis and missing teeth increased with age. Most 
      of them involved oral hygiene instruction and scaling. About 11.0% of the 
      subjects needed periodontal surgery. Higher proportions of attachment loss with 
      gingival recession caused by destructive periodontal disease were found in older 
      persons who did not require periodontal surgery. It was concluded that endemic 
      gingivitis and calculus, a moderate prevalence of shallow pockets and a low 
      prevalence of deep pockets were observed among adults in this group in Taipei 
      City and that the CPITN is a practical epidemiological and public health method 
      for screening the periodontal status and treatment needs of a population.
