Perio classification

Putting periodontal science and practice in order

The perio classification is based on the findings of the World Perio Workshop convened to update the classification of all periodontal and peri-implant diseases and conditions, held in Chicago, US in November 2017. This workshop was jointly organised by the EFP and the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) to agree on a new evidence-based, consensus knowledge base for a revised, global classification to be used by oral health professionals everywhere.
