title: [Representative epidemiologic study of influence factors on the periodontal loss of attachment].
abstract: The influence of age, inflammation intensity, tooth surface quality (caries, fillings), as well as mucogingival conditions on the loss of attachment was examined in 2000 probands. The loss of attachment was subdivided into periodontal pocket-formation and recessions. Determining cause is not the age but the inflammatory degree even if there is a significant increase of the attachment loss from age group to age group. The main part of the attachment loss increasing with advancing age is caused by recession development. Then, the individual dispersion is very high. Incorrect restorations, caries but also correct fillings increase periodontal disease. Mucogingival conditions show importance only in extreme case. There are less inflammations with pocket-formation than recessions. A preventive oriented basic care of the population is necessary to reduce irreversible damages of the periodontium.
