Abstract
|
|
|
the significance of plaque bacteria and its toxin in the etiology of various periodontal diseases has been well established. The purpose of this study is to develop laboratory marker in adult periodontitis.
Five patients with adult periodontitis were examined. Bacterial morphotype was observed by phase contrast microscope. Microflora was isolated by selective and nenselective media. Data was analysed between healthy sites and disease sites by paired
T-test.
Wolinella recta in the disease sites was isolated more frequently than that of healthy sites and the proportion of Actinomyces in the healthy sites were higher than that in the disease sites.
These results suggested that Wolinella recta in the disease sites and Actinomyces in the healthy sites might be the marker of adult periodontitis in Koreans.
Further study is needed to clarify the in vitro virulence of Wolinella recta.
