Evaluation of Porphyromonas gingivalis in periodontitis patients of Met.S and periodontitis patients without Met.S

Oral cavity is said to be the mirror of systemic health. Many systemic diseases first manifest in the oral cavity. Also an oral disease has a potential to act as an independent risk factor for causing systemic disease. This bidirectional view is gaining acceptance currently, due to findings that, association between periodontal disease and systemic conditions such as Metabolic Syndrome. Effort has brought advances in revealing the etiological and pathological links between the chronic inflammatory dental disease, periodontitis and systemic condition, Metabolic Syndrome. The role of microorganisms in periodontal disease is well documented. In the last 10 years, studies have been published indicating a positive or negative relationship between periodontitis and various systemic diseases, including Met.S. The most frequently isolated microaerophilic pathogens are (A.actinomyctemcomitans, Campylobacter rectus, and Eikenellacorrodens) and anaerobic pathogens are (P.gingivalis, Bacteroidesforsythus, T.denticola, Prevotella intermedia, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Eubacterium, and spirochetes). In the present study P.gingivalis periodontal pathogen confirmed increased colonization of periodontal pathogens, are cultured in both periodontitis patients without Met.S and Periodontitis patients with Met.S.
