The obtained results were as follows: 1. 1.20% of adolescents had healthy periodontal tissues. 2. 11.95% showed only the gingival bleeding on probing, 66.55% had the calculus. 3. The proportions of adolescents with pocket depths about 4 to 5mm and over 6mm were 19.95% and 0.35% respectively. 4. Periodontal treatment need proportion showed 98.80% in oral hygiene instruction and 86.65% in oral prophylaxis; mean number of sextants affected was 2.96. 5. 0.35% was needed complex periodontal treatment. 6. In the sex and regional distribution, girls were slightly higher than boys in periodontal treatment needs and seoul than Kyoungki-Do; but the difference was not significant statistically.(p<0.05) 7.
