Abstract
Purpose of review: 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.
Recent findings: 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 significantly greater estimate for the national prevalence of periodontitis in US adults and our understanding of population risk factors associations with periodontitis. Notably, this initiative also developed, and validated field-testing a battery of eight questions for multivariable modeling of self-report measures for predicting periodontitis in populations.
Summary: 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.
期刊介绍:
Current Oral Health Reports strives to provide state-of-the-art reviews in critical areas relevant to the study and practice of dentistry. Translational breakthroughs have their roots in the application of innovative basic science. Many of the most fruitful areas for new discoveries are at the intersection of scientific disciplines and, indeed, from quite separate scientific subject areas. The purpose of this journal is to provide readers with impactful new material in a wide range of dentally relevant disciplines that are essential to the dentally related scientist, with international authorities serving as editorial board members and section editors. Timely and current reviews of the literature, written by some of the world’s leading researchers, will address a constantly updated list of subjects that will encompass host defenses, microbiology, wound healing, systemic disease interactions, risk factors, prevention, regenerative medicine, stem cells, cancer, genetics, and aging.
