TI  - Application of the community periodontal index of treatment needs (CPITN) in a 
      group of 45-54-year-old German factory workers.

AB  - The purpose of the present study was to assess the periodontal status of 
      45-54-year-old patients and to evaluate their treatment needs. Probing depths, 
      bleeding on probing and retentional elements (calculus and overhanging 
      restorations) were determined according to the community periodontal index of 
      treatment needs (CPITN). Additionally, loss of attachment was measured. Results 
      indicated that none of the subjects had a completely healthy periodontium; only 
      14.7% presented with single sextants which were healthy or needed only improved 
      oral hygiene. Slightly less than half (46.1%) of the subjects were classified as 
      treatment need (TN) category 2 and the remainder (53.9%) as TN3. Of the subjects 
      classed as TN category 3, 14% had the requisite code 4 in one sextant, 18.2% in 2 
      sextants, 21.7% in half or more of the sextants and 4.2% in all sextants. With a 
      mean of 5.55 sextants per patient, 0.2 sextants per person were scored as code 0 
      or 1, 1.33 sextants as code 2, 2.79 sextants as code 3 and 1.24 sextants as code 
      4. The mean loss of attachment was 3.8 mm. Anterior teeth showed less loss of 
      attachment than posterior teeth and buccal and lingual surfaces showed less loss 
      of attachment than mesial and distal surfaces. The data indicate that although 
      this group of 45-54-year-old subjects had high CPITN scores in total TN 
      categories, the codes for complex Treatment Needs (TN3) were recorded only in 
      localized areas.
