Abstract:
Chronic periodontitis is a disease accompanied by destruction of dental tissues and resorption of the alveolar process.
It is a widespread and serious public health problem. Currently, epigenetic risk factors for the development of this disease play a major role. However, the clinical practitioner needs to make a thorough diagnosis, to identify the risk factors for the development of the disease.
Diagnostic test systems are one of the main tools for identifying risk factors for the development of this or that disease at the practical reception. They allow the practitioner to make the right clinical decisions, assess the prognosis of further development of the disease.
This article is devoted to the long-term experience of using molecular genetic tests at clinical appointments to determine the genetic predisposition to the development of inflammatory diseases and to draw up an individual programme of disease prevention.
