Periodontal research conducted over the last ten years has dramatically changed concepts relating to the assessment and diagnosis of periodontal diseases. These concepts have challenged the clinician to discard long accepted theories regarding the diagnosis and progression of periodontal disease transforming this area into a critical and important aspect of current periodontal research. Currently accepted theories regarding the progression of human periodontal disease (gingivitis and adult periodontitis), will be briefly reviewed, and current and potential new techniques for diagnosing periodontal disease activity will be discussed.
过去十年进行的牙周病研究极大地改变了与牙周病评估和诊断相关的概念。这些概念促使临床医生摒弃长期以来被接受的有关牙周病诊断和进展的理论，将这一领域转变为当前牙周病研究的一个关键且重要的方面。本文将简要回顾目前被接受的有关人类牙周病（牙龈炎和成人牙周炎）进展的理论，并讨论诊断牙周病活动的现有及潜在新技术。
