Subgingival microbiota of periodontally untreated Mexican subjects with generalized aggressive periodontitis

Background and Aim: Specific microbial profiles that may distinguish between generalized aggressive‐periodontitis (GAgP) and generalized chronic‐periodontitis (GCP) have, to date, not been described. The purpose of the present study was to describe the subgingival microbial composition of Mexican su...

Description
Summary:Background and Aim: Specific microbial profiles that may distinguish between generalized aggressive‐periodontitis (GAgP) and generalized chronic‐periodontitis (GCP) have, to date, not been described. The purpose of the present study was to describe the subgingival microbial composition of Mexican subjects with GAgP and compare it with that of individuals with GCP and periodontal health (PH). Material and Methods: Seventy‐seven subjects with GAgP (n=19), GCP (n=39) and PH (n=19) were selected. Clinical measurements included plaque accumulation, gingival erythema, bleeding on probing, suppuration, pocket depth and attachment level. Up to 28 subgingival plaque samples were obtained from each subject and analysed using the checkerboard DNA–DNA hybridization technique. Results: GAgP and GCP subjects harboured significantly higher levels and/or proportion of Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia (levels: p
