한국인 성인형 치주염의 실험적 표식자 개발에 관한 연구 = Development of laboratory marker in Adult Periodontitis in Koreans

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The Significance of plaque bacteria and its toxin in the etiology of various periodontal diseases has been well established.
The purpose of this study is to develop laboratory marker in adult periodontitis.
Five patients with adult periodontitis were examined. Bacterial morphotype was observed by phase contrast microscope. Microflora was isolated by selective and nonselective media. Data was analysed between healthy sites and disease sites.
Wolinella in the disease sites was isolated more frequently than that of healthy sites and loss of attachment and the proportion of Actinomvces in the healthy sites were more than that in the disease sites.
These results suggested that Wolinella in the disease sites and Actinonayces in the healthy sites might be the marker of adult periodontitis in Koreans.
Further study is needed to clarify the in vitro virulence of Wolinella.
