Conclusion
PERIODONTITIS, PERIODONTAL DISEASES, PERIODONTAL DISEASE
In case of severe periodontitis, regardless of the complexity or the case phenotype, the application of the investigated decision-making algorithms may significantly enhance the diagnostic accuracy in differently experienced dental students using the current classification of periodontal diseases.In view of these results, the application of the algorithms may represent a promising approach for the implementation of the current classification of periodontal disease in dental education. Further research on the effectiveness of the algorithms, however, has to be accomplished to compose a potent recommendation for its regular use in dental educational institutions.
