Age (completed years), presence of periodontal disease (yes / no), need for treatment (IPC) variables were studied. Corrected and standardized residuals were determined. Results: 58.4 % of individuals aged 6 to 11 years do not required periodontal treatment (IPC 0). In the 12 to 14 years old group, 46.5 %, needed dental prophylaxis and brushing  training (CPI 1). In IPC 2, there it was a 66 % predominance of the patients aged 15 to 18 years, needing treatment 1 plus scaling and root planning. 41.1% of the 60 to 74 years old patients presented IPC 3 with similar treatment needs, and the CPI 4 was more common in the 35 to 44 age group (66.6 %), including periodontal surgery, in addition to the above treatment. Most of the patients elder 35 years, had four or more segments affected. Segments with missing teeth predominated in the 60-74-years-old group.
