Gingival index

A numerical rating scale for classifying the periodontal status of a person or population with a single figure which takes into consideration prevalence as well as severity of the condition. It is based upon probe measurement of periodontal pockets and on gingival tissue status.

How it is measured

Loe and Silness gingival index, an ordinal 0 to 3 rating of gingival colour, oedema and bleeding tendency scored per site and averaged full-mouth. The number of sites scored per tooth is recorded with each finding.
