Primary prevention of periodontitis: managing gingivitis (consensus report, European Workshop on Periodontology)
European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) · 2015 · Workshop consensus report
A European workshop consensus document that treats management of gingivitis as the primary prevention step for periodontitis. Working groups synthesised evidence across four areas: mechanical plaque control regimens, interdental cleaning devices, chemical plaque control agents, and anti-inflammatory approaches. It remains a widely cited European reference point for gingivitis management, though it is a consensus report rather than a formal S3-level guideline.
- Evidence was appraised across mechanical plaque control, interdental cleaning devices, chemical agents and anti-inflammatory approaches. source
- The framing is preventive: controlling gingival inflammation is positioned as the route to preventing periodontitis onset. source
- Published in the Journal of Clinical Periodontology as a supplement arising from a European Workshop on Periodontology. source
