Advanced Diagnostic Aids in Periodontology

The goal of periodontal diagnostic procedures is to provide useful information to the clinician regarding the present periodontal disease type, location, and severity. These findings serve as a basis for treatment planning and provide essential data during periodontal maintenance and disease-monitoring phases of treatment. As new procedures are introduced in periodontology during these times of cost containment in health care, practitioners must use caution in deciding which patients would benefit from a comprehensive evaluation.
