Background: A 10-year survival analysis was performed to assess the predictive validity of the periodontal risk score (formerly known as Miller-McEntire Periodontal Prognostic Index [MMPPI]) to predict long-term survival of periodontally diseased molars in a longitudinally assessed cohort.

Materials And Methods: The MMPPI scores were computed at baseline by summarizing scores allocated for individual factors. The cohort was treated, followed up, and placed under regular periodontal maintenance.

Background: Tooth-level prognostic systems are valuable tools for treatment planning and risk assessment of periodontally involved teeth. Recently the Miller-McEntire prognosis index was found to outperform comparable systems. However, it had some limitations.

Background: This 5-year prospective survival analysis study aimed to examine the prognostic validity of a periodontal prognostic score specific for diseased molars: Miller-McEntire Periodontal Prognostic Index (MMPPI).

Materials And Methods: One thousand and twenty-three molars were evaluated from 129 patients. The MMPPI scoring factors included age, smoking, diabetes, probing depth, mobility, molar type, and furcation involvement.

Aim And Objective: The aim of this study was to prospectively determine and establish the periodontal prognosis of diseased molars in diabetic patients using the Miller-McEntire Periodontal Prognostic Index (MMPPI) with an additional criterion for diabetes (changes in glycosylated hemoglobin levels), at 2-year postperiodontal therapy.

Materials And Methods: A sample of 200 molars in 25 patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic periodontitis were evaluated. The prognostic parameters evaluated include age, probing depth (PD), mobility, furcation involvement, diabetes, and molar type.

Background: The purpose of this 2-year prospective survival analysis study is to determine a statistically validated periodontal prognostic score for diseased molars in smokers using the Miller-McEntire Periodontal Prognostic Index (MMPPI).

Materials And Methods: Two hundred molars were evaluated from 25 patients who were smokers with moderate-to-severe chronic periodontitis. The factors evaluated included age, probing depth, mobility, furcation involvement, smoking, and molar type.
