An overview
Keywords:
diagonostics, periodontitis, gingivitis, chairsideAbstract
The goal of periodontal diagnostic procedures is to provide useful information to the clinician regarding the present periodontal disease type, location and severity. Various diagnostic chair side tests have been developed recently. These tests provide information on the destructive process, currentdisease activity, rate, pattern, and extent of disease, severity of future break down and response to treatment.The chairside periodontal kits provide immediate reports of the microfloraassociated with the disease compared to cumbersome and time-consuming traditional laboratory procedures, such as: cultural and microscopic methods.
