Classification systems are essential to properly study the diagnosis, etiology, pathogenesis, and treatment of the different diseases. As such, the field of periodontology has witnessed the creation and continued update of different classification systems since the early 1940s. The first World Workshop in Periodontics³⁷ was held in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on June 6 to 9, 1966, and the most recent World Workshop took place in Chicago on November 9 to 11, 2017, with the related publications released in June 2018.³⁸ Understanding the development and the variations among the different classifications is critical for comprehending the literature published in different eras.
