The present investigation describes probing pocket depth, probing attachment level and recession data from 319 randomly selected subjects, aged 20-79 years, from Ushiku, Japan. The findings are reported as mean values, frequency distributions and percentile plots of the 3 parameters at buccal, interproximal and lingual surfaces of single rooted (incisors, canines, premolars) and molar teeth. Inter-as well as intra-examiner errors for probing pocket depth and probing attachment levels were assessed and found to be small. The data reported revealed that practically all subjects studied had one or more sites in the dentition affected by destructive periodontal disease and that the severity of disease increased with age. It was further observed that in each age group, molars had suffered more attachment loss than single rooted teeth and that the interproximal surfaces as a rule had lost more periodontal tissue support than corresponding buccal and lingual surfaces. The attachment loss difference observed between different surfaces of a given tooth or a group of teeth, however, was comparatively small. In the age groups between 20-59 years, advanced destructive periodontal disease was found in a small subgroup of the subject sample, while after the age of 60 years, widespread destructive periodontitis was common. An attempt was made to examine the progression of destructive disease with age by comparing the frequency distributions of sites with attachment loss of greater than or e...
