【 摘 要 】

Clinical diagnosis of periodontal disease is generally obtained by probing or attachment loss. Those have also been used in epidemiological investigations, though several problems have been pointed out, such as follows: infectious aggression by the dental instrument, time-consuming for both dental professionals and patients, and patient discomfort (e.g., pain or itching during probing).
