Specific bacteria as risk factors in periodontal disease

Several bacterial species are known to be periodontopathogen. They have different virulence factors and are more prevalent in cases than in healthy subjects. Their detection could be used to planify more specific antimicrobial periodontal disease therapies and also prevent a worst clinical prognosis.

These bacteria are Porphyromonas gingivalis, Bacteroides forsythus, Treponema denticola and Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans.

• P. gingivalis is associated with chronic periodontitis and, sometimes, advanced periodontal disease. It also has been detected in atheromatous plaques in subjects with cardiovascular diseases.
• B. forsythus is also associated with chronic periodontitis, and it is very prevalent.
• Treponema denticola is a spirochete involved in periodontal disease.
• A. actinomycetemcomitans is associated with periodontitis in children and adolescents, and with aggressive pictures.
