Abstract
In the course of periodontal treatment, the major works of the hygienists are taking periodontal examination records, scaling, root planing and plaque controlling. Among them, periodontal examination and dental X-ray photos are the most important factors when we start periodontal treatment. We must have a good eye that can observe the gingival and distinguish the dental X-ray photos, because the each treatment path depends on our judgments of the oral tissue. We should always train ourselves on the examination skill and judging abilities.
