Periodontitis and susceptibility thereto is tested by measuring the change in morphology of a sample of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) from the patient at a predetermined time after incubation thereof with supernatant from a virulent strain of Porphyromonas gingivalis and comparing the result with that from a sam- ple of PMNs from a healthy patient. Since loss of polarisation corresponds to a loss of actin which is bound by phalloidin, the change can be measured by observing adecrease in fluorescence of fluorescently labelled phalloidin in the sample. In seri- ous cases there is a complete loss of fluorescence.
