Comparison of Mobile Application and Traditional Methods in Classification

In this study, periodontal disease classifications of patients with periodontitis were performed using a mobile application and conventional methods. A total of 122 patients with periodontitis who presented to the Periodontology Clinic of the Faculty of Dentistry at Bolu Abant İzzet Baysal University were included in the study. The classification of periodontitis was carried out according to the 2017 World Workshop on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions and the EFP S3-level clinical practice guideline. In the study, periodontal classification of 122 patients with periodontitis was performed using a mobile application (Peribrain) by a student, a clinical student (manual), and a clinician (manual). In the mobile application, the following parameters were assessed: age, presence of diabetes, smoking status, deepest periodontal pocket depth, interproximal attachment loss, tooth loss, furcation defects, bite collapse, tooth migration, radiographic interproximal bone loss (%), and vertical bone loss. For classification, plaque index, gingival index, bleeding on probing, gingival recession, and clinical attachment level were measured in the patients. The results of the three groups were compared with each other.
