Over the last decade new technology has increasingly been applied to periodontal probing and radiography to result in diagnostic methods with greater resolution, repeatability, and accuracy. The goal of this paper is to discuss these methods with special emphasis on data published within the past year. Moreover, this paper summarizes the state of our current understanding of the usefulness of these methods in patient care and research.
