ACES: A new framework for the application of the 2018 periodontal status classification scheme to epidemiological survey data

CONCLUSIONS: ACES is a framework to be used in epidemiological studies of periodontal status that (i) have been completed, and in which stage and grade according to the 2018 classification are inferred retroactively, or (ii) are being planned. Consistent use of the proposed comprehensive approach will facilitate the comparability of periodontitis prevalence estimates across studies.PMID:38385950 | DOI:10.1111/jcpe.13965
