title: [Identification of bacteria using DNA probes].
abstract: Since the microbial specificity of periodontal diseases is well established, having a valid microbial diagnostic test is essential for a correct and a coherent treatment planning. DNA probe will be used to identify and quantify the oral pathogens, most commonly associated with periodontitis. This test utilizes innovative DNA probe technology to identify unique segments of DNA in each of the following bacteria: Bacteroides gingivalis, Bacteroides intermedius, Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Wollinella recta, Fusobacterium nucleatum and the spirochete, Treponema denticola.
