Summary

Entamoeba gingivalis, an oral amoeba, was found in 23.07% of patients with periodontal disease. This study re-examines its role in stomatological affections, particularly periodontopathies.

Area of Science:

  • Oral microbiology
  • Parasitology
  • Periodontology

Context:

  • Historically, Entamoeba gingivalis was considered pathogenic for periodontal lesions.
  • Recent findings indicate its presence in both healthy individuals and those with various oral conditions.
  • This study investigates the prevalence and potential role of E. gingivalis in diverse stomatological affections.

Purpose:

  • To determine the prevalence of Entamoeba gingivalis in patients with various stomatological affections.
  • To re-examine the etiopathogenic role of E. gingivalis in periodontopathies.
  • To compare findings in patients with oral lesions versus healthy controls.

Summary:

  • Entamoeba gingivalis was detected in 18 out of 78 patients (23.07%) with periodontal lesions, identified in gingival exudate, purulent secretions, dental tartar, and alveolar fluid.

  • The oral amoeba was not found in healthy students or patients with other non-periodontal stomatological conditions.
  • Microscopic examination of fresh preparations and Giemsa-stained smears were the primary detection methods.

    • Impact:

    • This research contributes to understanding the complex relationship between oral microorganisms and periodontal health.
    • It highlights the need to reconsider the pathogenic potential of Entamoeba gingivalis in specific oral conditions.
    • Findings may inform diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for periodontal diseases.
