Abstract
Background: In the 21st century dentistry has not only reached an epitome of great inventions but also has established a great milestone in achieving efficiency, efficacy and technological advancement. Technology has not only helped dentistry to grow in its value but also has encouraged the dentists to introduce less traumatic procedures. The course of periodontal disease is obvious by the sporadic and intermittent pattern of disease activity and inactivity showing random or alternate exacerbation and remission. Although microbes were considered to be the primary etiology, they were insufficient to cause a disease all by themselves, environmental, systemic and host response were also a part of the etiotrophic factors. Hence, to understand these complexities various assessment tools and advanced diagnostic aids were developed and introduced in practice. The various chair side diagnostic aids include Advanced Periodontal probes, Advanced radiographic diagnosis, Advanced microbial analysis, advanced immunodiagnostic techniques and molecular biological assays, Advanced biomarker identification and genetic testing and Advanced Chair side diagnostic kits. This manuscript reviews the advancement in the recent chair side diagnostic kits which are frequently studied and relied upon.
