Association of and with Periodontitis Disease Severity and Red Complex Bacteria.

Oral biofilms are considered the principal etiological agent in the development of periodontitis. Novel species that may contribute to periodontitis and dysbiosis have been identified recently. The study aims to evaluate the presence of and in healthy and diseased patients and their association with clinical parameters and with red complex bacteria.

Polymerase chain reaction-based identification of various serotypes of in adults with and without dental caries.

Background: Dental caries is a multistep process which initiates the development of plaque' defined as a structured biofilm containing microbial communities. Teeth provide unique surfaces for bacterial colonization. Serotypes of implicate the development of dental caries.

Occurrence of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans in Indian chronic periodontitis patients and periodontally healthy adults.

Background: Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa), an important primary periodontal pathogen, is known for its strong virulence characteristics that cause periodontal disease. We investigated Aa occurrence in Indian individuals using culture and 16 s rDNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study with 100 participants each in the healthy and chronic periodontitis (CP) groups was conducted.

Prevalence of Herpesvirus and Correlation with Clinical Parameters in Indian Subjects with Chronic Periodontitis.

Objective: The identification of new uncultured species and viruses supports the possibility of combination of the herpes-virus-bacterial periodontal infection for periodontitis. The paucity of data and studies with larger sample size in Indian subjects provides an unclear picture of the presence of the herpesvirus in this population.

Materials And Methods: This was a cross-sectional study consisting of 100 each in the healthy group and chronic periodontitis (CP) group.
