美国口腔修复医师学会根据诊断结果开发了一套完全无牙牙分类系统。这些指南可能会帮助医生为他们的患者确定适当的治疗方法。定义了四个类别，从I类到IV类，I类代表不复杂的临床情况，IV类患者代表最复杂和高风险的情况。每一类都根据特定的诊断标准进行区分。该系统是为牙科专业人员设计的，他们参与了对需要治疗的完全无牙患者的诊断。该系统的潜在好处包括：1)更好的患者护理，2)改善专业沟通，3)更适当的保险报销，4)更好的筛查工具，以协助牙科学校入学诊所，以及5)结果评估的标准化标准。
The American College of Prosthodontists has developed a classification system for complete edentulism based on diagnostic findings. These guidelines may help practitioners determine appropriate treatments for their patients. Four categories are defined, ranging from Class I to Class IV, with Class I representing an uncomplicated clinical situation and a Class IV patient representing the most complex and higher-risk situation. Each class is differentiated by specific diagnostic criteria. This system is designed for use by dental professionals who are involved in the diagnosis of patients requiring treatment for complete edentulism. Potential benefits of the system include: 1) better patient care, 2) improved professional communication, 3) more appropriate insurance reimbursement, 4) a better screening tool to assist dental school admission clinics, and 5) standardized criteria for outcomes assessment.
