Periodontal Risk Assessment is a necessary part of the periodontal paradigm. The American Academy of Periodontology, AAR) asserts that risk assessment should be a part of every comprehensive dental and periodontal examination. Risk assessment goes beyond identification of the existence of disease and severity, and considers factors that may influence future disease progression. These risk factors include:
*Cigarette smoking,
*Diabetes,
*Poor oral hygiene,
*Periodontal pockets,
*Vertical bone loss,
*Furcation involvement,
*Subgingival calculus
*Restorations with subgingival margins
