| Popis: | This review provides an overview of the objectives, activities, and accomplishments of the CDC-AAP collaboration on public health aspects of periodontitis focusing mostly on surveillance. Dr. Robert Genco was co-chair of this effort. This initiative developed new standard periodontitis case definitions for surveillance and implemented for the first time a full-mouth periodontal examination protocol for NHANES 2009–2014. Measurements from this survey resulted in a significantly greater estimate of the national prevalence of periodontitis in US adults and improved our understanding of population risk factors associations with periodontitis. Notably, this initiative also developed, and validated by field-testing, a battery of eight questions for multivariable modeling of self-report measures for predicting periodontitis in populations. This initiative resulted in significant improvements of surveillance of periodontitis and produced unique findings with important implications for advancing our understanding of population aspects of periodontitis in US adults at the national, state, and local levels. At long last, the world finally had a set of periodontitis case definitions that applied globally would enable valid comparisons between populations in different geographic settings and at different times. |
