Yes, periocharting is a common practice in India, especially before gum surgery or when evaluating serious periodontitis as it involves measuring and recording various parameters such as pocket depths, bleeding on probing, and attachment levels around the teeth. It helps dentists and periodontists assess the health of the gums and supporting structures, plan treatment accordingly, and monitor progress over time.
