Periodontitis Prevalence in a West African Sub-Population Using Two Definitions: A Cross-Sectional Study in Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso).
Periodontitis was highly prevalent in this urban West African population, with advanced disease affecting up to one-third of adults. The EFP/AAP classification identified more cases but showed lower specificity, potentially overestimating disease burden in settings with high prevalence but predominantly moderate disease.
