Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a digital periodontal assessment tool in early detection of periodontal disease among community health center patients. A total of 150 patients (aged 25-65 years) visiting community health centers in Kediri Regency were examined using both conventional periodontal examination and a newly developed digital assessment tool. The digital tool incorporated automated probing depth measurement, bleeding on probing detection, and AI-based risk assessment algorithms. Diagnostic accuracy was compared between conventional examination by periodontists and the digital tool operated by general dentists. The results showed high sensitivity (92.3%) and specificity (88.7%) of the digital tool compared to conventional examination as the gold standard. Inter-examiner reliability demonstrated excellent agreement (κ=0.89). The digital tool significantly reduced examination time from 15.4±3.2 minutes to 8.7±1.8 minutes (p<0.001). In conclusion, the digital periodontal assessment tool is effective and reliable for early detection of periodontal disease in community health settings, enabling improved access to periodontal care.
