title: [Analysis of the oral bacterial flora in subjects with periodontal diseases].
abstract: A bacterioscopic study of the bacterial flora of 15 healthy and 15 periodontal disease carriers is presented in relation to the possibly pathogenetic role of oral bacterial flora in the development of human periodontal disease. Study samples taken from sulcus and gingival pockets were examined by darkfield microscopy. Results show that bacterial flora from periodontal disease subjects differs from that in healthy subjects in that spirochetes are present and the incidence of straight and motile rods is higher than of coccoid cells.
