Methods: An exploratory cross-sectional study was conducted including adult participants with available panoramic radiographs and responses to a validated self-reported periodontal screening questionnaire. R-PBL was assessed on interproximal sites and classified according to established thresholds. Self-reported information followed a validated strategy based on the Center for Diseases Control tool. The performance of individual and combined indicators was analyzed against the 2018 case definition for periodontitis, calculating sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Results: A total of 150 participants were included, equally divided between periodontitis cases and controls, with a mean age of 46.5 years. The R-PBL model demonstrated the best predictive performance for both periodontitis (AUC: 0.833) and severe periodontitis (AUC: 0.796), with the highest precision and net benefit across thresholds. The Either model showed similar performance, particularly in sensitivity, while SR and Both models underperformed. Decision curve analysis confirmed the superior clinical utility of \u2018R-PBL\u2019 and \u2018Either\u2019 models in guiding decision-making. Conclusions: Combining self-reported information with radiographic bone loss showed adequate screening performance for periodontitis. This dual approach may provide a feasible strategy for identifying high-risk individuals in settings where full clinical examination is not possible.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14134531","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,26]],"date-time":"2025-06-26T06:55:13Z","timestamp":1750920913000},"page":"4531","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Combining Self-Reported Information with Radiographic Bone Loss to Screen Periodontitis: A Performance Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0167-4077","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 Jo\u00e3o","family":"Mendes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Egas Moniz Center for Interdisciplinary Research (CiiEM), Egas Moniz School of Health & Science, 2829-511 Almada, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Margarida","family":"Neves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Egas Moniz Center for Interdisciplinary Research (CiiEM), Egas Moniz School of Health & Science, 2829-511 Almada, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Clara","family":"Supiot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Egas Moniz Center for Interdisciplinary Research (CiiEM), Egas Moniz School of Health & Science, 2829-511 Almada, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Leonor","family":"Pinto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Egas Moniz Center for Interdisciplinary Research (CiiEM), Egas Moniz School of Health & Science, 2829-511 Almada, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-4433-8382","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diogo","family":"Tenda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Egas Moniz Center for Interdisciplinary Research (CiiEM), Egas Moniz School of Health & Science, 2829-511 Almada, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Nuno","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Egas Moniz Center for Interdisciplinary Research (CiiEM), Egas Moniz School of Health & Science, 2829-511 Almada, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8482-5936","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lu\u00eds","family":"Proen\u00e7a","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Egas Moniz Center for Interdisciplinary Research (CiiEM), Egas Moniz School of Health & Science, 2829-511 Almada, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Yago","family":"Leira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Periodontology Unit, Faculty of Medicine and Odontology, University of Santiago de Compostela, 15705 Santiago de Compostela, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2503-260X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vanessa","family":"Machado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Egas Moniz Center for Interdisciplinary Research (CiiEM), Egas Moniz School of Health & Science, 2829-511 Almada, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1019-8263","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jo\u00e3o","family":"Botelho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Egas Moniz Center for Interdisciplinary Research (CiiEM), Egas Moniz School of Health & Science, 2829-511 Almada, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"823","DOI":"10.1111\/jre.13337","article-title":"Burden of Severe Periodontitis and Edentulism in 2021, with Projections up to 2050: The Global Burden of Disease 2021 Study","volume":"59","author":"Nascimento","year":"2024","journal-title":"J.
