  • Title: [Bacteriological aspects of periodontal disease].
    Author: Sauvètre E.
    Journal: Rev Belge Med Dent (1984); 1994; 49(2):9-17. PubMed ID: 7816954.
    Abstract:
    Periodontal diseases are caused by specific bacteria in the periodontal pocket. Despite the vast complexity of the flora on the teeth and the more than 300 types of bacteria that may be found in the mouth, studies have been able to narrow the list of pathogens to a small group of suspected bacteria. It is not clear, however, how much of the destruction of periodontal tissue is caused by the direct effects of the bacteria and how much by indirect effects mediated by the host's reaction to the bacteria.
