What type of bacteria is present in periodontitis?

Many: "red complex" bacteria consisting of porphyromonas gingivalis, treponema denticola, and tannerella forsythia are strongly associated with periodontal infection. The change from periodontal health to disease is associated with the displacement of a predominantly gram-positive bacterial flora in the periodontal sulcus by gram-negative anaerobes.

Many: There are many types of bacteria involved in periodontitis.

Bacteria: In health the mouth has mainly gram positive anaerobics in periodontal disease that switch to gram negative.Anaerobic bacteria. There is a long list of specific names. Try the aap site for the names or any bacteriology site.

Pathogens: Usually, gram negative anaerobes are found in periodontal pockets. P. Gingivalis is the most common.

Bacteria: Healthy and disease-causing bacteria can generally be grouped into two categories: the harmless or helpful bacteria are usually known as gram positive aerobic bacteria. In periodontal disease, the bacterial balance shifts over to gram negative. Most implicated bacteria include: actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, porphyromonas gingivalis, bacteroides forsythus, treponema denticola, t. Socransk.

Prior great answers: If you have periodontal disease, consider the perio protect method for treatment. This system does not rely on antibiotics for effective treatment. Problem w/ antibiotics are resistant bacteria and patient allergy. This system works daily to significantly reduce all bacteria and allows the patient to heal. www.perioprotect.com.
