Advances in periodontal diagnosis. 3. Assessing potential biomarkers of periodontal disease activity.
The methods for assessing potential biomarkers of periodontal disease activity are considered. This is necessary because a detailed examination of all the relevant research evidence is an essential process in assessing the possible clinical usefulness of a periodontal diagnostic test system based on any one of these markers.
