Abstract
A Total of 3696 subjects (15 to 44 yrs.) attending Government Dental College and Hospital were screened for their periodontal treatment needs using the Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs (CPITN). Calculus predominated as the most frequently recorded CPITN score and affected over 70 % of the population. On the other hand, only a few persons below 20 years had CPITN score 4. The assessed treatment need was predominately scaling and oral hygiene education. (TN2) The need for deep scaling and/or surgery (TN3) was very low.
