Relation of baseline microbial parameters to future periodontal attachment loss

Abstract excerpt

Abstract The relationship between the level of subgingival species at baseline and subsequent attachment loss in a subject was examined. 38 subjects (14–71 years) with prior evidence of periodontal destruction were monitored 2 × for pocket depth and attachment level at 6 sites per tooth at baseline and 2 months. A subject was considered to exhibit new attachment loss if 1 or more sites increased 3 mm or more in...
