Radiographs and clinical examinations are important for assessing periodontal disease. Radiographs identify bone loss and other factors. Clinical exams measure probing depth, recession, mobility and inflammation. Microbiological tests identify pathogens while immunological tests detect bacterial antigens. Investigations of oral lesions associated with HIV include ELISA, Western Blot and PCR tests. Radiographs and percussion help evaluate endodontic-periodontal lesions. Tests for halitosis include organoleptic assessment and measuring volatile sulfur compounds.
