Results of almost 100 CPITN surveys in more than 50 countries for the age group 35-44 years, stored in the WHO Global Oral Data Bank as of 1 August 1990, are assembled. They are presented in the form of graphs showing the percentages of persons according to the highest score per person and arranged by country according to WHO regions. It is hoped that these overviews provide a frame of reference for the evaluation of periodontal conditions in populations and population subgroups. Calculus and shallow pocketing were the most frequently observed conditions. With a few exceptions, the percentages of persons and the mean number of sextants per person with deep pockets were small to very small. The assumed differences between industrialized and non-industrialized countries with regard to periodontal health were not reflected in the survey data examined. Severe periodontal destruction seems to be a limited problem, seldom leading to tooth loss before the age of 50. For the large majority in most of the populations observed, the progress of periodontal diseases seems to be compatible with the retention of a natural dentition into older age. Nevertheless, the periodontal problem is of considerable magnitude and importance, as 5-20 per cent of populations are affected by a serious, irreversible condition at the age of 40, which is a high percentage compared with almost every other disease that afflicts mankind.
截至1990年8月1日，存储在世卫组织全球口腔数据库中的、来自50多个国家针对35 - 44岁年龄组进行的近100次社区牙周指数（CPITN）调查结果被汇总起来。这些结果以图表形式呈现，图表显示了每人最高得分对应的人群百分比，并按世卫组织区域划分的国家进行排列。希望这些概述能为评估人群和人群亚组的牙周状况提供一个参考框架。牙结石和浅牙周袋是最常观察到的情况。除少数例外，有深牙周袋的人群百分比和每人平均牙 sextant 数都很小到非常小。在调查所审查的数据中，未体现出工业化国家和非工业化国家在牙周健康方面的假定差异。严重的牙周破坏似乎是一个有限的问题，很少导致50岁之前牙齿脱落。对于大多数观察到的人群中的绝大多数人来说，牙周疾病的进展似乎与在老年时保留天然牙列是相符的。然而，牙周问题的规模和重要性相当大，因为在40岁时，5% - 20%的人群受到严重的、不可逆状况的影响，与几乎困扰人类的其他疾病相比，这一比例很高。
