Abstrakt:	The results of an oral health survey in five countries by four examiners showed marked between examiner variation in the interpretation of diagnostic criteria for the assessment of periodontal disease. A new method for the assessment of periodontal disease is described. It is a modification of the Periodontal Screening Examination of O'Leary and is designed to distinguish four degrees of periodontal disease in terms of preventive or curative action required for the problem. In a second survey using this method two examiners obtained closely comparable results in their assessment of calculus, gingivitis and periodontal pockets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
