The prevalence of interdental gingival inflammation: a report from the 1986 ADA annual health screening

This study screened 1986 ADA annual session participants for interdental gingival inflammation by using the Eastman Interdental Bleeding Index (EIBI). The EIBI provides a sensitive and objective measure of interdental gingival inflammation, and has been shown to be reliable. At least one bleeding site was found in 81% of the 435 dentists examined. This study showed that in a dental population, the prevalence of gingival inflammation was high when the health of interdental tissues was assessed.
