A classification scheme for periodontal and peri-implant diseases and conditions is necessary for clinicians to properly diagnose and treat patients as well as for scientists to investigate etiology, pathogenesis, natural history, and treatment of the diseases and conditions. This seminar summarizes the proceedings of the World Workshop on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-implant Diseases and Conditions. The workshop was co-sponsored by the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) and the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) and included expert participants from all over the world. 
 
A new classification for peri-implant health, peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis was developed by the workshop. An effort was made to review all aspects of peri-implant health, diseases, and relevant aspects of implant site conditions and deformities to achieve a consensus for this classification that could be accepted worldwide. Case definitions for use by clinicians for individual case management and also for population studies will be reviewed.
 
Staging and grading of the periodontitis aims at directed identification of individual patients who are more likely to require greater effort to prevent or control their chronic disease long-term. This explicitly acknowledges the evidence that most individuals and patients respond predictably to conventional approaches to prevent periodontitis and conventional therapeutic approaches and maintenance, while others may require more intensive and more frequent preventive care or therapeutic interventions, monitoring, and maintenance.
 
Staging a periodontitis patient classifies the severity and extent of an individual based on currently measurable extent of destroyed and damaged tissue attributable to periodontitis. Staging also assesses specific factors that may determine complexity of controlling current disease and managing long-term function and esthetics of the patient's dentition. The goals for grading a patient include estimating the future risk of periodontitis progression and responsiveness to standard therapeutic principles in order to guide the intensity of therapy and monitoring. Grading also helps the clinician estimate the potential health impact ofperiodontitis on systemic disease and the reverse in order to guide systemic monitoring and co-therapy with medical colleagues.
 
Objectives: By the conclusion of this program, the participant will be able to:
  1. Incorporate the new classification scheme into daily clinical practice
  2. Describe case definitions for periodontal conditions and peri-implant diseases
  3. Use staging of the periodontitis patient to assess the severity, extent and complexity of the case
  4. Use grading to estimate the future risk of periodontal progression and the effects of the disease on systemic health and vice versa
  5. Define peri-implant health and how to diagnose peri-implant disease
  6. Appreciate the effects of mucogingival defects on the periodontium
This course is open to all dental team members.
