Method for Evaluating Periodontal Disease.
Abstract
The presence and activity of periodontal diseases can be detected by quantitating the presence of microbial antigens from Eikenella corrodens, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema denticola, and Campylobacter rectus in subgingival plaque. The efficacy of periodontal treatment can be evaluated by monitoring the amount of these microorganisms in plaque before and after treatment. An avidin-thiolyte reagent is particularly useful in detecting and quantifying antigens from the microorganisms.
