Quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction versus culture: a comparison between two methods for the detection and quantification of <i>Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis</i> and <i>Tannerella forsythensis</i> in subgingival plaque samples

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this investigation was to validate a real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay in identifying and quantifying Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis and Tannerella forsythensis from subgingival plaque samples taken from subjects with different periodontal conditions, when compared with conventional cultural procedures. PATIENTS AND METHODS:...
