Assessing periodontal disease risk: A comparison of clinicians’ assessment versus a computerized tool. Persson, G.R., et al. Journal of the American Dental Association 2003; Vol. 134: 575-582.

The accuracy of subjective risk assessment, even when performed by periodontal experts, has been examined and compared to the validated PreViser technology. The results of this study were reported in the May 2003 issue of JADA.

Validity and accuracy of a risk calculator in predicting periodontal disease. Page, R., et al. Journal of the American Dental Association 2002; Vol. 133: 569-576.

Successful application of the wellness model depends on an accurate and valid assessment of disease risk, as well as institution of risk reduction as an integral part of prevention and treatment. A computer based risk assessment tool has been developed. Use of the risk assessment tool over time may result in more uniform and accurate periodontal clinical decision making, improved oral health, reduction in the need for complex therapy, reduction in health care costs and a hastening of the transition from a repair model to a wellness model of care.

Longitudinal validation of a risk calculator for periodontal disease. Page, R. et al. Journal of Clinical Periodontology 2003; 30: 819-827

Risk scores calculated using the PRC and information gathered during a standard periodontal examination predict future periodontal status with a high level of accuracy and validity.

Use of the risk assessment tool over time may be expected to result in more uniform and accurate periodontal clinical decision-making, improved oral health, reduction in the need for complex therapy and reduction in health-care cost.
