title: [Periodontal diseases in The Netherlands].
abstract: The extend and severity of periodontal diseases in The Netherlands are discussed using data of a large epidemiologic oral health survey in 1986. The perspective on treatment is presented with some notes on the basic issues in health and disease. The often heard statement, that the periodontal disease problem is much more severe in developing countries compared with the industrialized countries, could not be confirmed.
