Abstract
Role of various etiologic factors in periodontal disease has been investigated by means of epidemiologic surveys and clinical studies. The community periodontal index of treatment needs (CPITN) provides a picture of the public health requirements in the periodontal field, which is essential for national oral health policy-making and specific interventions.
This study was conducted on 4000 individuals among rural, semi-urban, and metro population of Gurgaon District, Haryana State, to find out the oral health status and periodontal treatment needs (TNs) using CPITN index.
An inference was drawn from the results that among 4000 participants from all the four population groups' maximum, i.e., 63.80% of individuals needed TN2 whereas 18.20% of individuals needed TN3 and 18.10% of individuals needed TN1.
It can be concluded with a word of hope and a word of warning. Hope lies in the fact that the measurement of periodontal diseases by epidemiological study of this condition is improving and receiving wide spread attention. The warning lies in the varied nature of the condition which goes to make up periodontal disease and perplexing ways in which these conditions blend. In addition to dental practitioner, periodontist and public health workers must devote more time and effort toward controlling periodontal disease than they seem to be devoting at present.

Oral health is a critical but overlooked component of overall health and well-being among children and adults.[<xref rid="ref2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>] Health is a fundamental right of every individual and oral health is an integral part of general health. Various factors are responsible for the maintenance of good oral health. Socioeconomic status, occupation, and education are playing a major role in the maintenance of good oral health. Access is one of the main barriers of health care delivery system which we want to overcome by primary health care.[<xref rid="ref3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>] Each population group comprises different individuals coming from various socioeconomic profiles, education levels, age groups, occupations, etc., thereby needing different approaches for health care. One of the strategies in public health is to identify unique population groups, study their health problems, and explore methods for health care.[<xref rid="ref4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>]</p><p>During the last decade, there has been an increasing prevalence of dental health problems in India. Oral diseases have attracted the researchers as early as 1941.[<xref rid="ref5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>] The prevalence of periodontal disease in India ranges from 90% to 95% in different population groups, only differing in severity between the various age groups.[<xref rid="ref6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>] Although the critical role of dental plaque in the etiology of periodontal disease is well-established, it does not explain the difference in susceptibility of given population or individuals to periodontitis.

The dental health of our people is very poor. Even ordinary citizens know very little about oral and dental health.

It is viewed by some as possibly the best tool currently available for measuring descriptive epidemiology of periodontal disease in diverse population. The index is simple, rapid, inexpensive, easily applied, and requires minimum equipment.</p><p>In the present study, CPITN-C probe having color coding with a black mark starting at 3.5 mm and ending at 5.5 was used, not employing a force >20 g. Ainamo <italic>et al</italic>.[<xref rid="ref11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>] used probe of same specification during their study way back. Morris <italic>et al</italic>.[<xref rid="ref12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>] used same probe during his study on the UK adult population. The periodontal status assessment criteria that were proposed in the WHO's 1997 oral health survey methods manual were used. The data were collected by a single examiner.</p><p>In the past, very few Indian and international studies have been conducted to compare the prevalence of periodontal diseases and TNs in urban and rural areas. Present study is the only study which compares the four groups of population, i.e. rural, semi-urban, urban, and metropolitan.</p><p>The results of the present study revealed that there was less need of TN1 in rural population when compared to the other three groups. These results are in accordance with the studies of Singh <italic>et al</italic>.[<xref rid="ref16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>] and Gupta <italic>et al</italic>.[<xref rid="ref17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>] Diouf <italic>et al</italic>.[<xref rid="ref18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>] found in his study that rural populations mostly use traditional therapy when they suffer from dental problems. All the groups needed TN2 in higher percentage as compared to TN1 and TN3. All the population groups required professional oral care. These results are in accordance with Sanjana <italic>et al</italic>.[<xref rid="ref19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>] Ramfjord <italic>et al</italic>.[<xref rid="ref20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>] who observed in their study that there is 100% prevalence of periodontal disease in India. This might be due to different lifestyle, exposure of certain risk factors such as smoking, chewing tobacco, and use of indigenous oral hygiene methods for cleaning teeth. In addition, lack of oral hygiene awareness among the rural population must have contributed to the increased risk of periodontal disease among the individuals. Lissau <italic>et al</italic>.[<xref rid="ref21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>] showed that how a social environment, individual behavior, and the delivery system have significant effect on the use of dental services. Syrjälä <italic>et al</italic>.[<xref rid="ref22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>] showed that education was not a decisive factor in determining the attitude of the people toward oral health care.</p></sec><sec sec-type="conclusions" id="sec1-5"><title>CONCLUSION</title><p>Lack of incentives for dentists to work in the rural areas is one of the major important determinants for unavailability of dentists in the rural areas. Lack of routine medical check-up can be a risk factor for routine dental care also. Dental schools organize oral health check up camps in rural areas and also inform/motivate people regarding the prevention and treatment of existing dental diseases, but it is little difficult for the population to get benefit of the facilities available in dental colleges located in nearby towns/city, because of some practical reasons such as conveyance.</p><p>On the other hand, better periodontal health in urban and metropolitan areas may be because of the more number of dentists serving in these areas. Majority of the hospitals and teaching institutions (dental colleges) are located in urban areas. Furthermore, schools located in these areas are having regular oral checkups of the students by the dentists employed/empaneled by them, thus ensuring better oral hygiene standards.</p><sec
