title: Periodontal screening and recording.
abstract: The perceived benefits of PSR as a simple, sensitive and efficient tool to screen patients for periodontal diseases have contributed to its incorporation into the dental practice environment. The recent introduction of PSR to the public probably will motivate patients to seek more information about periodontal health. Used as a communication and screening tool, PSR has the potential to enhance professional and patient relationships through cooperative treatment planning and increased patient treatment acceptance.
