[Comparative study of bacterial flora in patients with chronic periodontal disease assessed by various...

Periodontal pockets microflora features by aggressive and chronic periodontal disease were studied by means of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and mass spectrometry. The study included 14 patients aged 25-70 years without somatic pathology. The pilot study has shown the high prevalence rate in obligate periodontal pathogens in periodontal pockets revealed by PCR diagnostics, at the same time mass spectrometry has revealed the presence of other pathogens which had not been primarily included into PRC diagnosis.
