What is an index?
According to Russel A.L.,
An index is defined as a numerical value describing the relative status of a
population on a graduated scale with definite upper and lower limits, which is
designed to permit and facilitate comparison with other populations classified
by the same criteria and methods.

Index – Purpose and uses
For Individual
• Reveal the effectiveness of present oral hygiene practices.
• Motivate the person for preventive and personal care.
In Research
• Measure the effectiveness of specific agents or mechanical devices in
prevention, control and treatment of oral conditions.
In Community
Health
• Show the prevalence and trends of particular condition within a given
population.
• Assess the needs of a community.

Community Periodontal Index Of
Treatment Needs (CPITN)
Who developed
CPITN??
It was given by Jukka
Ainamo, David
Barmes., George
Beagrie.,Terry
Cutress., Jean Martin.
And Jennifer Sardo-
Infirri in 1982
Joint working committee (W.H.O./ F.D.I.)
Scope and purpose of CPITN Index
Irreversible
Reversible
The CPITN records the common treatable
conditions, namely
• Periodontal pockets
• Gingival inflammation
• Dental calculus
• Other plaque retentive factors.
The index is recommended for epidemiological surveys of periodontal health.
How to proceed?
• The dentition is divided into sextants.
• When only one tooth is left in a sextant, it is included in the adjacent sextant.
• The highest score in each sextant is identified after examining of index teeth.
17-14 13-23 24-27
47-44 43-33 34-37
Index Teeth
Age> 20 years
• 10 teeth are examined
Age< 20 years
• 6 teeth are examined
16 11 26
46 31 36
Only one score is given to each sextant.The molars are examined in pairs but only the
highest is recorded.

The WHO/CPITN Probe
(Recommended periodontal probe for use with CPITN index)
Uses Detection of pocket depth
Detection of subgingival calculus
HOWTO USE?
Working force: < 20 gm
Direction of insertion:
Along the long axis of
tooth
Types of CPITN probe

0.5 mm
3.5 mm
5.5 mm
0.5 mm
8.5 mm
11.5 mm
3.5 mm
5.5 mm
Coding criteria
• No periodontal disease
• Healthy periodontium
Code 0
Bleeding observed during
or after probing
Code 1
• Presence of calculus or other
plaque retentive factors.
Code 2
• Pathological pocket 4 to 5.5
mm in depth
Code 3
• Pathological pocket > 6mm
in depth
Code 4
Treatment needs
Improvement of personal oral
hygiene
Professional cleaning and oral
hygiene instructions
Scaling and root planning
Deep scaling, root planning and
complex surgical procedures
No need for treatment

CPITN Index
Advantages
• Simplicity
• Speed
• International Uniformity
Disadvantages
• Partial recording
• Exclusion of some important signs
of past periodontal breakdown.
