Abstract:
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory condition of the tissues surrounding the tooth, associated with attachment loss. It is a series of events which starts from gingivitis and when remains untreated progresses to periodontitis. Traditional periodontal clinical diagnostic parameters which include probing depths, bleeding on probing, clinical attachment levels, plaque index, and radiographs are insufficient for identifying sites of active diseases. Thus, advanced techniques like newer generation of periodontal probes, advances in microbiological analysis, immunodiagnostic techniques, molecular biology techniques, biomarkers and genetic testing will improve the identification of gingivitis prior to the exhibition of symptoms of periodontitis.
