This paper describes the initiation, rate of progress of periodontal disease and consequent tooth loss in a population never exposed to any pro- rams or incidents relative to prevention end treatment of dental diseases. The group consisted of 480 male laborers at two tea plantations in Sri Lanka, The study design and basctine data have been published. At the initial examination in 1970, the age of the participants ranged between 14 and 31 years, Subsequent ‘examinations occurred in 1974, 1973, 1977, 1982 and 1985. Thus, the study covers the age range 14-46 years. Throughout the study, the clinical indices were scored by the same two examiners, both well-irained and experienced periodonti- tis, Intra examiner reproducibility for each index was tested at baseline and ‘epested periodically during the study. The data for each examination were computerized and updated on an ongoing basis. At the last examination in 1985. there were 161 individuals who had participated in the first survey. ‘This population did not perform any conventional oral hygiene measures and consequently displayed quite uniformly large aggregates of plaque, calculus aad s#ain on their teeth, Virtually all gingival units exhibited inflammation, Based on imerproximal joss of atchment and tooth mortality rates three subpopulations ‘were idemtfied: (1) individuals (~-8°) with rapid progression of periodontal disease (RP), those (~81%) with moderate progression (MP), and a group (~ 11%) who exhibited no progression (NP) of periodontal disease beyond gingivitis. ‘AC3S years of age, the mean loss of attachment in the RP group was ~9 mm, the MP group had ~4 mm and the NP group had less than 1 mm loss of attachment.

Gingival index scores were also very similar for the 3 groups, although there may have been a tendency for the rapid progressing (RP) group to score higher Eetween 15 and 25 years than the other two disease categories. Certainly, forthe W years and older age groups no dif- ference in gingival inex scores could be discerned, ‘Gingival caries was almost non-exist- ent both for mesial and buccal tooth Surfaces.
