[The cytological indices and electrokinetic mobility of the cell nuclei of the buccal epithelium in assessing periodontal status]

Abstract

Study of electrokinetic mobility of buccal epitheliocyte nuclei, nonspecific resistance of buccal mucosa cells, and cytograms of patients with periodontitis of different severity revealed a clear-cut correlation between these parameters and severity of clinical picture of periodontal inflammation. Morphological and cytological studies of buccal epithelial cells are proposed to be used for assessing the severity of periodontal inflammation and the efficacy of therapy.
