Classi􀃶cation of the disease helps to the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of particular disease. Different

classi􀃶cation of periodontal diseases were proposed by different authors. 1999 classi􀃶cation of periodontal disease

was accepted among the periodontology community, although it had disadvantages. All these disadvantages led to development of newer

classi􀃶cation of periodontal disease which was co-sponsored by the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) and the European

Federation of Periodontology (EFP). This review summarized the newer classi􀃶cation, advantages/modi􀃶cation and disadvantages of the

newer classi􀃶cation.
