This Consensus Workshop dealt with diagnostic methodologies in the context of surveillance, screening, assessment stage and grade, prognosis, monitoring prediction periodontal status. Several elements provided impetus for workshop, including limited quality available research on tests, rapid development new technologies, implementation 2018 classification declarations World Health Organisation diagnosis oral health. To update evaluate evidence methods, considering recent advances knowledge classification. The European Committee Federation Periodontology guided a consensus report after commissioning eight systematic reviews within three working groups. were discussed during in-person meeting involving 70 participants from 21 different countries. Working Group 1 innovations traditional approaches, justified manual probing as reference standard assessed value image-based methods. 2 analysed tests based microbial host biomarkers genetic tests. 3 covered emerging technologies to be used dental non-dental clinical settings, focusing principally impact questionnaire-based assessments artificial intelligence systems (AIS) interpreting data modalities. Although is firmly established standard, additional approaches imaging, biomarkers, genetics, questionnaires applied science methods (e.g., AIS) are increasingly integrated diagnostics.
