title: [Diagnosis of the active phase of periodontal disease. 1. Clinical parameters].
abstract: Review of the literature shows that the common clinical parameters used in practice are inaccurate in assessing periodontal disease activity. Radiographs and probings are, instead, relatively accurate in retrospectively assessing periodontal disease activity. Currently more sophisticated radiographic techniques are being developed to diagnose ongoing periodontal disease activity.
