Abstract
Epidemiologic methods can be used for the diagnosis of periodontal disease and the evaluation of its progression. Indices can be used to check the frequency of pathogenic events, the location of etiologic agents and the effectiveness of therapy. Such techniques can be employed in everyday practice and could conceivably be used to motivate patients.
