Identification of Treponema denticola in subgingival samples by PCR technology and its correlation with clinical diagnosis

Treponema denticola has been associated with gingivitis and chronic periodontitis. The aim of this study was to identify Treponema denticola in subgingival samples using PCR technology and to correlate it with clinical diagnosis of subjects. The study was carried out on seventy patients (20-84 years of age; mean age, 45.06 +/- 12.58) of which 22 individuals with no detectable gingivitis or periodontitis, 4 subjects with chronic gingivitis and 44 subjects with chronic periodontitis. Subgingival plaque samples were collected from five sites in each patient. DNA was extracted from the samples using QIAamp DNA Mini Kit (QIAGEN). Treponema denticola and other four periodontopathogens were found using multiplex polymerase chain reaction followed by a reverse hybridization. The relationship between clinical diagnoses and detection of Treponema denticola was determined with Fisher exact test. The results showed significant differences between diagnostic groups regarding subject proportion. Treponema denticola was detected in 2 out of 22 subjects with no detectable gingivitis or periodontitis, 2 out of 4 subjects with chronic gingivitis, and 40 out of 44 subjects with chronic periodontitis. Our findings suggest that Treponema denticola is closely connected to the initiation and progression of periodontal disease.     

PCR detection of Capnocytophaga species in dental plaque samples from children aged 2 to 12 years

The purpose of this study was to detect the presence of Capnocytophaga sputigena, C. ochracea, and C. gingivalis in plaque samples from the toothbrushes of 122 children, using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. The subjects were 25, 85, and 12 children with healthy gingiva, gingivitis, and periodontitis, respectively, ranging in age from 2-12 years old. Plaque samples were collected from all erupted tooth sites using a sterile toothbrush. The mean amount of DNA recovered from the samples was approximately 19.3 microg, which was deemed sufficient for performing a PCR-based survey. C. sputigena prevalence in healthy, gingivitis, and periodontitis subjects was 48.0%, 36.5% and 25.0%, respectively, that for C. ochracea was 100%, 89.4%, and 50.0%, respectively, and that for C. gingivalis was 96.0%, 84.7%, and 75.0%, respectively. The lowest age of positive subjects was approximately 2 years. Our results showed that C. sputigena was moderately prevalent, whereas C. ochracea and C. gingivalis were commonly detected in the oral cavities of the tested children, suggesting that all of these species become established in the early years.     

The Prevalence of Canine Oral Protozoa and Their Association with Periodontal Disease

Periodontal disease is one of the most important health concerns for companion animals. Research into canine forms of periodontitis has focused on the identification and characterization of the bacterial communities present. However, other microorganisms are known to inhabit the oral cavity and could also influence the disease process. A novel, broad spectrum 18S PCR was developed and used, in conjunction with next‐generation sequencing analyses to target the identification of protists. Trichomonas sp. and Entamoeba sp. were identified from 92 samples of canine plaque. The overall prevalence of trichomonads was 56.52% (52/92) and entamoebae was 4.34% (4/92). Next‐generation sequencing of pooled healthy, gingivitis, early‐stage periodontitis, and severe periodontitis samples revealed the proportion of trichomonad sequences to be 3.51% (health), 2.84% (gingivitis), 6.07% (early periodontitis), and 35.04% (severe periodontitis), respectively, and entamoebae to be 0.01% (health), 0.01% (gingivitis), 0.80% (early‐stage periodontitis), and 7.91% (severe periodontitis) respectively. Both genera of protists were statistically associated with plaque from dogs with periodontal disease. These findings provide the first conclusive evidence for the presence of oral protozoa in dog plaque and suggest a possible role for protozoa in the periodontal disease process.     

人类巨细胞病毒、EB病毒和单纯疱疹病毒1型与慢性牙周炎的相关性研究

Serum antibodies to native and denatured type I and III collagen in patients with periodontal disease

Serum IgG antibodies to collagen were investigated by using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in patients with chronic periodontal disease. Patients with varying forms of periodontal disease including gingivitis, juvenile periodontitis, and adult periodontitis were compared with the normal subjects. The mean serum IgG levels of ELISA antibodies to native type I or III collagen in patients with juvenile periodontitis were significantly higher than those of the normal subjects, but no difference was found between the patients with either gingivitis or adult periodontitis and the normal subjects. In addition, the mean serum IgG levels of ELISA antibodies to denatured type I or III collagen in patients with juvenile or adult periodontitis were significantly higher than those of the normal subjects. These findings suggest that antibodies to native and denatured type I or III collagen may be associated with different forms or severities of periodontal disease, especially advanced periodontal destruction.     

A Cross-Sectional Survey of Bacterial Species in Plaque from Client Owned Dogs with Healthy Gingiva,Gingivitis or Mild Periodontitis

Periodontal disease is the most widespread oral disease in dogs which if left untreated results in significant pain to the pet and loss of dentition. The objective of this study was to identify bacterial species in canine plaque that are significantly associated with health, gingivitis and mild periodontitis (<25% attachment loss). In this survey subgingival plaque samples were collected from 223 dogs with healthy gingiva, gingivitis and mild periodontitis with 72 to 77 samples per health status. DNA was extracted from the plaque samples and subjected to PCR amplification of the V1-V3 region of the 16S rDNA. Pyrosequencing of the PCR amplicons identified a total of 274 operational taxonomic units after bioinformatic and statistical analysis. Porphyromonas was the most abundant genus in all disease stages, particularly in health along with Moraxella and Bergeyella. Peptostreptococcus, Actinomyces, and Peptostreptococcaceae were the most abundant genera in mild periodontitis. Logistic regression analysis identified species from each of these genera that were significantly associated with health, gingivitis or mild periodontitis. Principal component analysis showed distinct community profiles in health and disease. The species identified show some similarities with health and periodontal disease in humans but also major differences. In contrast to human, healthy canine plaque was found to be dominated by Gram negative bacterial species whereas Gram positive anaerobic species predominate in disease. The scale of this study surpasses previously published research and enhances our understanding of the bacterial species present in canine subgingival plaque and their associations with health and early periodontal disease.     

Identification of four Treponema species in subgingival samples by nested-PCR and their correlation with clinical diagnosis

The relationship between different species of oral Treponemas and inflammation in periodontal disease progression is complex. The purpose of this study was to analyze and compare the subgingival plaque samples collected from periodontally healthy subjects and from chronic gingivitis and periodontitis patients in order to detect the presence of T. denticola, T. pectinovorum, T. socranskii and T. vincentii using nested-PCR technology. After DNA extraction from the samples using QIAmp DNA Mini Kit (QIAGEN, the four Treponema species were determined with nested-polymerase chain reaction which requires two sets of primers to amplify a specific DNA fragment in two separate runs of PCR. Pearson chi-square was implemented to compare the three groups as to the presence of four Treponema species. Results of this investigation showed significant differences between groups regarding subject proportion of T. denticola, T. socranskii, T. pectinovorum, T. vincentii, with a higher percentage of patients from associated-disease groups of patients harboring these four species than healthy subjects. These differences were more pronounced in presence of Treponema denticola and Treponema socranskii. Our findings suggest that Treponema denticola and Treponema socranskii concurrent presence indicate more accurately the association with chronic gingivitis and periodontitis.     

Microbiota of Initial Periodontitis in Adults

This paper reviews our recent studies of the microbiota and host response of initial periodontitis. Understanding the initial stages of periodontitis will allow appropriate early treatment and prevention strategies. Out studies aimed to determine the major bacterial species that differentiated initial periodontitis from health, and evaluate whether subjects with initial periodontitis differed in serum IgG reactivity to putative initial periodontitis pathogens compared with healthy subjects. Initial periodontitis was characterized clinically using longitudinal periodontial attachment level measurements. Progressing periodontal loss was detected at interproximal (initial periodontitis), and buccal (progressing recession) locations from the study population of minimally periodontally diseased subjects. Initial periodontitis was characterized microbiologically by elevated proportions of Bacteroides forsythus, Selenomonas noxia and Campylobacter rectus when compared with non-periodontitis sites. The immunological checkerboard assay did not detect differences in serum IgG reactivity among healthy, gingivitis or initial periodontitis subjects, or changes in reactivity co-incident with detection of initial peridontitis. Clinical, microbiological and immunological characterization of initial periodontitis was consistent with infection-associated Gram-negative anaerobic periodontal species. Progressing recession sites were colonized byActinomyces and Streptococcus species, as were healthy sites. Progressing recession sites demonstrated periodontal loss that appeared unrelated to infection and appeared to be consistent with a traumatic tooth brushing etiology. Different types of lesions will require different approaches to therapy and prevention.     

Detection of Fusobacterium Nucleatum and fadA Adhesin Gene in Patients with Orthodontic Gingivitis and Non-Orthodontic Periodontal Inflammation

Fusobacterium nucleatum is one of the most abundant gram-negative bacilli colonizing the subgingival plaque and closely associated with periodontal disease. However it is unclear whether F. nucleatum is involved in gingival inflammation under orthodontic appliance. A novel adhesin, FadA, which is unique to oral Fusobacteria, is required for F. nucleatum binding and invasion to epithelial cells and thus may play an important role in colonization of Fusobacterium in the host. In this study, we evaluated the prevalence of F. nucleatum and its virulence factor FadA adhesion gene (fadA) in 169 subgingival biofilm samples from 55 cases of gingivitis patients with orthodontic appliances, 49 cases of gingivitis patients without orthodontic treatment, 35 cases of periodontitis patients and 30 cases of periodontally healthy people via PCR. The correlations between the F. nucleatum/fadA and gingivitis index(GI)was also analyzed. The detection rate of F. nucleatum/fadA in periodontitis group and non-orthodontic gingivitis group was higher than the other two groups (p<0.01) while it was higher in orthodontic gingivitis group than in health people (p<0.05). An obviously positive correlation was observed between the prevalence of F. nucleatum/fadA and GI. F. nucleatum carrying fadA may be more closely related to the development of gingivitis and periodontal disease compared with orthodontic gingivitis.     

Actinobacillus (Haemophilus) actinomycetemcomitans in periodontal disease

Actinobacillus (Haemophilus) actinomycetemcomitans is a facultatively anaerobic, gram-negative coccobacillus which is a possible etiological agent in juvenile periodontitis (JP). In this study, bacterial flora, especially the occurrence of A. actinomycetemcomitans, in the periodontal pockets of one juvenile with gingivitis (G), one JP patients, five rapidly progressive periodontitis (RP) patients and one adult periodontitis(AP) patient, and one adult with healthy periodontium was investigated using a blood agar medium and a selective medium for A. actinomycetemcomitans. Eight hundred and sixty-five bacteria were isolated from the periodontal pockets, examined for their gram-stain, cell morphologies, relations to O2 and CO2 and catalase reaction, and divided into 21 groups on the basis of these characters. Among the isolates, 604 isolates were further characterized biochemically and identified. A. actinomycetemcomitans was found as 0.2% of the flora of a site in the JP patient, as 9% of the flora of a site in the G patient, and as 19% and 1%, respectively, of the flora of a site in the two RP patients. However, the organism was not detected in another lesion site of the JP patient. In our JP and RP patients, Fusobacterium, Wolinella, Streptococcus, and obligately anaerobic, gram-positive cocci were frequently found at high levels. The bacterial flora of the G and AP patients were more heterogeneous and included Bacteroides at relatively high proportions. These results indicate that A. actinomycetemcomitans is not always associated with JP but occurred in some patients with RP and G.
