Abstract | The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the degree of metabolic control and the presence of pathogenic microorganisms such as Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Prevotella intermedia and Porfiromonas gingivalis in subgingival plaque of diabetic patients. Microbial analysis of subgingival plaque in 44 type 1 diabetes mellitus patients demonstrated increased levels of Prevotella intermedia and Porfiromonas gingivalis in patients with poor metabolic control. Samples taken from sites with severe gingival inflammation and deep periodontal pockets contained higher levels of both periodontal pathogens. | |
