Application of the new periodontal classification: generalised periodontitis

Abstract

The World Workshop on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-implant Diseases and Conditions was convened in 2017 and resulted in the publication of a new classification system in 2018.1 This replaces the formerly used Armitage Classification.2 The complete Workshop proceedings are available to clinicians for free online via the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) website.
