The system of peridontal screening and recording was developed by the American Dental Association and the American Academy of Periodontology to simplify early detection of periodontal pathology. The authors evaluated the results of PSR against those of a conventional periodontal examination in 24 subjects, each of whom had a minimum of 18 natural teeth. The results of this study suggest that the PSR examination, while a useful screening tool, could be improved to further enhance its identification of patients with peridontal diseases.
