BACKGROUND: The aims of this study were to determine the genotypic diversity of Prevotella intermedia in subgingival plaque samples by using two techniques, arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction (AP-PCR) and heteroduplex analysis, and to assess the relationship of this diversity with increase in probing depth. METHODS: The subgingival plaque samples were obtained from 12 patients using paper points...
