这份立场文件是受欧洲牙科公共卫生协会委托编写的，该协会成立了六个工作组，调查与口腔公共卫生有关的六个专题的现状。其中一个领域是牙周病的流行病学。两篇论文“对牙周炎定义的系统回顾和用于识别牙周炎的方法”和“影响社区口腔卫生保健需求和提供的因素”构成了这篇立场文件的起点。通过MEDLINE搜索检索到其他相关和最近的出版物。文献表明，在流行病学研究中，牙周炎的定义明显缺乏共识和一致性。在使用的方法上也有许多不同。其结果是，使用不同案例定义和不同调查方法的研究数据不容易解释或比较。广泛使用的社区牙周治疗需求指数（CPITN）及其最近的衍生产品的局限性被广泛认识。在此背景下，本立场文件回顾了目前的证据基础，概述了存在的问题，并建议如何改善牙周病的流行病学。该工作组的职权范围是审查和讨论牙周病流行病学的现有证据基础，并确定未来的工作领域，以进一步加强它。
This position paper was commissioned by the European Association of Dental Public Health, which has established six working groups to investigate the current status of six topics related to oral public health. One of these areas is epidemiology of periodontal diseases. Two theses "A systematic review of definitions of periodontitis and the methods that have been used to identify periodontitis" and "Factors affecting community oral health care needs and provision" formed the starting point for this position paper. Additional relevant and more recent publications were retrieved through a MEDLINE search. The literature reveals a distinct lack of consensus and uniformity in the definition of periodontitis within epidemiological studies. There are also numerous differences in the methods used. The consequence is that data from studies using differing case definitions and differing survey methods are not easily interpretable or comparable. The limitations of the widely used Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Need (CPITN) and its more recent derivatives are widely recognized. Against this background, this position paper reviews the current evidence base, outlines existing problems and suggests how epidemiology of periodontal diseases may be improved. The remit of this working group was to review and discuss the existing evidence base of epidemiology of periodontal diseases and to identify future areas of work to further enhance it.
