Periodontal care in general dental practice has begun to develop in a pattern which distinguishes it from more specialised periodontal therapy delivered in practices and hospital units devoted to that activity. Thus, more emphasis is laid upon screening in general practice, with monitoring of treatment progress in patients with mild disease also requiring a novel approach. The system needs to be underpinned with carefully designed record-keeping arrangements. There now appears to be an urgent need for a simple but robust method of measuring the outcome of simple periodontal treatment in general dental practice if further progress is to be made in this important area.
一般牙科诊所的牙周护理已开始形成一种模式，使其有别于在专门从事该项活动的诊所和医院科室所提供的更专业的牙周治疗。因此，一般诊所更注重筛查，对于轻度疾病患者治疗进展的监测也需要一种新方法。该系统需要有精心设计的记录保存安排作为支撑。如果要在这一重要领域取得进一步进展，目前似乎迫切需要一种简单而可靠的方法来衡量一般牙科诊所简单牙周治疗的效果。
