Abstrakt: The article evaluates the potential of a rapid test system for the detection of specific bacterial enzymatic activities in some periodontally defined populations. Studies from several microbiological laboratories demonstrate that some periodontopathic bacteria may also be characterized by their enzymatic activities. The detection of selected bacterial enzymatic reactions directly in plaques associated with periodontal diseases may therefore be an easy and efficient method of diagnosis.
