AB  - BACKGROUND: Role of various etiologic factors in periodontal disease has been 
      investigated by means of epidemiologic surveys and clinical studies. The 
      community periodontal index of treatment needs (CPITN) provides a picture of the 
      public health requirements in the periodontal field, which is essential for 
      national oral health policy-making and specific interventions. MATERIALS AND 
      METHODS: This study was conducted on 4000 individuals among rural, semi-urban, 
      and metro population of Gurgaon District, Haryana State, to find out the oral 
      health status and periodontal treatment needs (TNs) using CPITN index. RESULTS: 
      An inference was drawn from the results that among 4000 participants from all the 
      four population groups' maximum, i.e., 63.80% of individuals needed TN2 whereas 
      18.20% of individuals needed TN3 and 18.10% of individuals needed TN1. 
      CONCLUSION: It can be concluded with a word of hope and a word of warning. Hope 
      lies in the fact that the measurement of periodontal diseases by epidemiological 
      study of this condition is improving and receiving wide spread attention. The 
      warning lies in the varied nature of the condition which goes to make up 
      periodontal disease and perplexing ways in which these conditions blend. In 
      addition to dental practitioner, periodontist and public health workers must 
      devote more time and effort toward controlling periodontal disease than they seem 
      to be devoting at present.
