Microscopic monitoring of the subgingival microbiota to detect pathogens associated with periodontal diseases has been an active area of investigation. Researchers have demonstrated that plaque samples obtained at diseased sites contain more motile bacteria and less coccoid forms than healthy sites. Therapy at diseased locations has resulted in a shift in the microbiota to one that resembles healthy sites. However, the ability to predict disease activity based on morphotype counts still remains unverified. The current literature addressing chairside microscopic assessments as a diagnostic parameter is reviewed and discussed.
对龈下微生物群进行微观监测以检测与牙周疾病相关的病原体一直是一个活跃的研究领域。研究人员已经证明，在患病部位采集的菌斑样本比健康部位含有更多的运动性细菌和更少的球菌形态。对患病部位的治疗已导致微生物群向类似于健康部位的方向转变。然而，基于形态类型计数预测疾病活动的能力仍未得到验证。本文对目前将椅旁微观评估作为诊断参数的文献进行了综述和讨论。
