What are the components of Data on Risk Factors?
Primary Local Factors
Primary Systemic Factors
What are components of primary local factors?
Bacteria (species and plaque retentive areas)

What is the Diagnosis of Periiodontal Problems based on?
- Probe depths + Gingival recession = CAL
- Ammount of keratinized tissue, BOP, furcations, mobility
