Evaluating periodontal status of US employed adults



LJ Brown, RC Oliver, and H Loe
Epidemiology and Oral Disease Prevention Program, National Institute of Dental Research, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892.

A national survey of employed adults was conducted by the National Institute of Dental Research to provide more current epidemiologic information about dental disease. This report addresses one aspect of the survey's findings: periodontal status. Although almost all employed adults had experienced some loss of periodontal attachment, less than 13% had loss of attachment of 5 mm or greater. Gingival recession affected half of the population. The extent and severity of periodontal disease improved in comparison with findings from earlier studies.
