It is based on nucleic acid detection. It helps the simultaneous determination of the presence of a multitude of bacterial species in single or multiple clinical samples. In this method bacterial viability and epidemiologic research is not required. Various studies using this molecular method have considerably enhanced the understanding of the microbiology of periodontal disease.
