Journal Title: Journal of IMAB - Annual Proceeding (Scientific Papers) - Year 2012, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
Periodontal diseases are socially significant diseases, which occur in adults but in children and adolescents as well. Despite a low prevalence of aggressive periodontitis at a young age, its severity is a challenge for pediatric dentistry. The goal of this study is to find if the prevalence of Porphyromonas gingivalis among children whose parents suffer from periodontal diseases is greater than among children with healthy parents. Methods: - Polymerase chain reaction (PCR). - Culture method. When PCR was used P.gingivalis was found in 35.5% of parents with periodontitis and in 6,5% of their children, children with healthy parents and their parents. No statistically significant relation (P>0.05) between periodontal parents and their children was found. When culture method was used P.gingivalis was not detected. Studying such correlations and standardizing methods of detection could contribute the evaluation of periodontal disease risk in adolescents.
