Utilization of Prognosis Assignment: A Cross-Sectional Survey of Military Periodontists

Abstract

Prognosis is a forecast of the likely course of a disease and its future implications on treatment outcomes. The significance of periodontal prognosis in clinical practice is evident by its influence on treatment planning, communication, and in the retrospective evaluation of treatment results. While there are multiple well-known prognosis systems reported in the periodontal literature, there is an absence of data on the actual use of prognosis assignment among practicing clinicians. Objective: The purpose of this study was to survey military periodontists regarding their utilization of periodontal prognosis and to evaluate its influence on treatment planning as well as its implications on operational dental readiness.
