[Key components of pathogenesis of periodontal diseases in light of cytomorphological findings].

Abstract

A new cytomorphometrical method for evaluation of periodontal status by cytograms of gingival impressions is based on estimation of destruction index and inflammatory destructive index. This method will be helpful in the diagnosis of periodontal diseases, monitoring of the pathological process after treatment, and in solution of theoretical problems, e.g. investigation of the key factors in the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases. The authors analyze the relationship between the two major components of pathogenesis of periodontal inflammation-inflammatory infiltrative process and destructive changes.
