ABSTRACT
The perspective field in advancing the microbiological diagnosis is the development and creation of diagnostic sets (screening or express tests) that are used exactly in the dental chair in a short time.
The aim of the study is to mark the relevance of developing the microbiological express-tests for diagnosing periodontal patients.
Objects and methods. The study included microbial PCR examination of the periodontal pocket content in 120 patients aged 35–44 years with chronic generalized periodontitis.
Results and discussion. The conducted microbiological examination gave the possibility to identify such periodontopathic microorganisms in periodontal pockets as Treponema denticola in 75 % (93) of patients, Porphyromonas gingivalis in 70 % (87) of patients, Bacteroides forsythus in 80 %(98) of patients The microbiological study took from 8 to 14 days that has increased the duration of treatment and the number of visits (in general up to 3 or 4). One or two qualified specialists conducted the microbiological research in the conditions of the equipped laboratory.
Conclusions.. Nowadays, it is justified and perspective to hold the complex of clinical and experimental research that gives an opportunity to improve the diagnosis in shortening the duration of treatment and decreasing the number of visits. Nevertheless, their modification supports the realization of preventive therapeutic and diagnostic measures. This research reveals additional possibilities for the broad application of microbiological diagnostic methods.

Keywords: periodontitis, microbiological diagnostic methods, express tests.
