ABSTRACT
The 2017 international classification system for periodontal diseases characterises periodontitis patients based upon disease extent, severity and past experience, and in stage IV includes a treatment complexity component. In addition, taking into account well-established risk factors, it aims to estimate the risk for future attachment loss. This classification system draws upon current understanding of disease pathobiology and reflects the complex, multifactorial nature of the periodontitis. It also acknowledges individual patients' risk profiles.Classification and diagnosis are distinct but linked entities, and the inclusion of established risk factors in the system helps signpost the clinician and patient towards a more personalised approach to care provision. The European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) has recently developed an S3-level clinical treatment guideline for stages I to III periodontitis, based upon a rigorous standardised process involving 15 systematic reviews of current evidence and their synthesis by a representative group of experts and stakeholders. The aim is to guide the practitioner through the complex plethora of periodontal management options and to facilitate pragmatic decision-making in full knowledge of the evidence base.Here, we present the structured, stepwise treatment protocols developed by the EFP guideline group and highlight selected specific clinical recommendations. The adapted guidelines for the UK healthcare system will be published in early 2021.
