How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter Average Pocket Depth (mm), Bleeding on Probing %, and Radiographic Bone Loss %.
  2. Set Smoking Status, Non-Smoker, and Current Smoker.
  3. Review Treatment Recommendation and Classification.
  4. Use Quadrants for SRP and Severity Score to inform your decision.
  5. Use the chart to visualize the results and explore different scenarios by adjusting inputs.

What each input means

Average Pocket Depth (mm)
Average probing depth in millimeters across all sites
Bleeding on Probing %
Percentage of sites that bleed upon probing
Radiographic Bone Loss %
Percentage of bone loss visible on radiographs relative to root length
Smoking Status
Smoking is a major risk modifier for periodontal disease progression

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Average Pocket Depth (mm) = 3, Bleeding on Probing % = 15, Radiographic Bone Loss % = 10, Smoking Status = 0 = 4 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Treatment Recommendation
    Prophylaxis (D1110) = Prophylaxis (D1110)
  3. Calculate Classification
    Healthy / Gingivitis = Healthy / Gingivitis
  4. Calculate Quadrants for SRP
    0 = 0
