<i>Treponema socranskii, Treponema denticola,</i> and <i>Porphyromonas gingivalis</i> Are Associated With Severity of Periodontal Tissue Destruction

Abstract

T. socranskii, T. denticola, and P. gingivalis were frequently detected in periodontitis patients by PCR. The prevalence of these 3 microorganisms was correlated with various clinical parameters. Taken together, our findings suggest that T. socranskii, T. denticola, and P. gingivalis are associated with the severity of periodontal tissue destruction.
