Through results gathered from this research, we can emphasize the benefit of including Non Conventional Diagnostic Techniques such as the BANA hydrolysis test N-&-benzyl-DL-arginine-2-Naphthylamide to periodontal clinical examinations. This represents an adjunct for dentists in need to emit an early diagnosis of this disease. In general, the term periodontal disease is used to describe inflammatory and infectious lesions that originate and may persist in the periodontium. The clinical classification of these processes is based on the topographic area of the inflammatory response. When located in the gums, the lesion is called gingival disease. When the damaging process affects the support system cement, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone the condition is called periodontal disease.
Mediante los resultados obtenidos en este trabajo podemos resaltar el valor que representa la inclusión de las Técnicas de Diagnósticos no Convencionales como la prueba de hidrólisis BANA N-&-bencil-DL-arginina-2-naftilamida al examen clínico periodontal debido a la necesidad que se le presenta al odontólogo para realizar un diagnóstico precoz de esta enfermedad.
