The aim of research was to review original articles devoted to the given topic to study the connection between tooth loss prognosis and risk indicators, and to analyze the influence of the specific risk factors on periodontal prognosis and its accuracy. Methods. Structural and logical analysis method, semantic bibliography method. Results. The references analysis has shown that determination of a positive prognosis is more predictable than doubtful prognosis determination. Some risk factors have major practical value and are discussed by many authors. Nevertheless, doubtful prognosis determination remains practically unchanged. A furcation involvement, deep residual pockets, significant bone loss, and\or at least the second degree of mobility in the presence of active inflammation are rather important to determine periodontal prognosis. Conclusion. The importance of determination of the accurate periodontal prognosis prior to treatment is crucial to build trust relationship between peridontist and patient, as well as to prevent legal liability. Next research should be focused on simplifying of prognostic models with high predictability
