    The document defines the extent of periodontal disease as the percentage of sites in the mouth affected by the disease. Sites are the positions where probing measurements are taken around each tooth, with six sites typically recorded per tooth. If up to 30% of sites are affected, the disease is classified as localized, while more than 30% affected is considered generalized.

    Extent[edit]

    The 'extent' of disease refers to the proportion of the dentition affected by the disease in terms of
    percentage of sites. Sites are defined as the positions at which probing measurements are taken
    around each tooth and, generally, six probing sites around each tooth are recorded, as follows:
    1. mesiobuccal
    2. midbuccal
    3. distobuccal
    4. mesiolingual
    5. midlingual
    6. distolingual
    If up to 30% of sites in the mouth are affected, the manifestation is classified as 'localized'; for
    more than 30%, the term 'generalized' is used.
