Clinical attachment loss (AL) is one of the most important measures for periodontal disease severity. With AL, one could measure the worst scenario, the average, or the cumulative sum of AL among all teeth. The objective of this study is to evaluate which of the 15 measures of periodontal problems (e.g., maximum, mean, and cumulative AL) best predict the need for periodontal treatment.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> Using detailed periodontal data obtained through clinical examination from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999 to 2002, weighted logistic regression was used to model the periodontal treatment need of 15 different periodontal disease measures. The outcome measure is the clinically determined periodontal need.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> After adjustment for the covariates of age, sex, ethnicity, education, smoking status, and diabetes, the three most predictive measures were identified as: 1) the sum of the maximum mid\u2010buccal (B) and mesio\u2010buccal (MB) measures, which reflects the worst case of both B and MB measures; 2) the sum of the maximum MB measure or the worst case of the MB measure; and 3) the sum of all B and MB measures, or the cumulative AL measures.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> Cumulative periodontal morbidity, particularly the worst case of B and MB measures, has the strongest impact on the need for periodontal care. All the demographic variables and covariates follow the classic pattern of association with periodontal disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.2012.120466","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,23]],"date-time":"2012-11-23T08:23:25Z","timestamp":1353659005000},"page":"1409-1415","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Predictive Power of the Severity Measure of Attachment Loss for Periodontal Care Need"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"84","author":[{"given":"Honghu","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marvin","family":"Marcus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carl A.","family":"Maida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jie","family":"Shen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vladimir W.","family":"Spolsky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0757.2005.00130.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1034\/j.1600-0757.2001.22250103.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1034\/j.1600-0757.2001.22250104.x"},{"issue":"4","key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","first-page":"157","article-title":"Commentary: Clinical implications of periodontal disease assessments using probing depth and bleeding on probing to measure the status of the periodontal\u2010biofilm interface","volume":"7","author":"Offenbacher S","year":"2005","journal-title":"J Int Acad Periodontol"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1967.38.6.610"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","first-page":"175","article-title":"The marginal line calculus index","volume":"11","author":"M\u00fchlemann HR","year":"1967","journal-title":"Helv Odontol Acta"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/00220345560350030401"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1959.30.1.51"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","first-page":"222","article-title":"The Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs (CPITN) procedure for population groups and individuals","volume":"37","author":"Cutress TW","year":"1987","journal-title":"Int Dent J"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-051X.2008.01243.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","first-page":"322","article-title":"Partial indices as indicators of the severity and prevalence of periodontal disease","volume":"35","author":"Ainamo J","year":"1985","journal-title":"Int Dent J"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0528.2006.00252.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_1","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
