Abstract:
Even with a plaque index of 1, peak values of germ count per micronl were found which remained almost constant with plaque increasing up to an index of 3. Germ count and degree of inflammation correlated in the range of the gingival indices 0 to 2. A further intensification of the inflammation showed a significant reduction of germ count per micronl. When studying the relationship between germ count and depth of pocket, the same behavior was observed, starting at a pocket depth of 4.5 mm.
