The EFP Probe will help dentists with diagnosis and implementation of clinical-practice guidelines
27 March 2026
The EFP Probe is a single probe for screening and treatment, designed to facilitate diagnosis according to the current classification of periodontal disease and the EFP’s clinical practice guidelines. Moritz Kebschull explains its importance.
Special publications
Perio classification
The current classification is based on the findings of the World Perio Workshop (2017) which updated the classification of all periodontal and peri-implant diseases and conditions. The EFP has published a series of resources to help oral-health professionals understand and implement the classification.
Clinical guidelines
The EFP has produced a set of S3-level clinical-practice guidelines to provide oral-healthcare professionals with precise therapeutic pathways based on individual patient diagnoses and recommend specific interventions to get the best possible results for patients with periodontitis and peri-implant diseases.
Perio Workshop
The outcomes of each European Workshop on Periodontology are published as special open-access monographic supplements in the JCP, providing authoritative guidance on the science behind gum health and gum disease.
