Overview

Systematic review evaluates diagnostic accuracy of self-reported questionnaires for periodontitis across cultures, suggesting improvements are needed.

Key Points

  • Self-reported questionnaires demonstrate varying sensitivity and specificity for detecting periodontitis.
  • Pooled sensitivity and specificity across items ranged from 17% to 82% and 23% to 97%, respectively.
  • The analysis included 23 studies; only those using CDC/AAP criteria were analyzed due to limited studies on newer classifications.
  • Cultural variations and comprehension issues impact the overall effectiveness of self-reported questionnaires in identifying periodontitis.
