Abstract

In order to assess prevalence and severity of gingival and/or periodontal lesions, a variety of index systems have been developed. Index systems were first applied in epidemiologic studies. However, the application of some systems became more and more accepted in clinical practice as a part of the individual patient’s documentation.
