Diagnostic Aids in Periodontology

A proper and true diagnosis is essential in order to have rational treatment and preventive strategy also to identify sites at high risks in periodontitis patients. Our present understanding of the host-bacterial interaction emphasizes multiple complex mechanisms involved in periodontal tissue breakdown. Traditional clinical criteria are inadequate in determining sites with active tissue destruction, monitoring the response of therapy as well as to measure susceptibility to future periodontal breakdown. Recent immunochemical, molecular and genetic based approach has offered a new avenue in periodontal diagnosis research. This book illustrates various diagnostic methods used to detect, monitor as well as measure the sites with active periodontal disease.
