Analysis of microbiological profiles of Indian patients with peri-implantitis and periodontitis.

The microbial profile of patients with periimplantis to inqure any unique composition of microorganisms in them is of interest to dentists. Hence, we evaluated the microbial profile of patients with peri-implantitis, patients with periodontitis and normal healthy subjects. 180 subjects were included in this study. Plaque samples were collected from 60periodontically healthy (PH) participants, 60 periodontitis (PT) subjects, and 60 periimplantitis (PI) subjects. Final concentrations were obtained for seven most common periodontal pathogens namely Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Treponema denticola, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia, Staphylococcus aureus and Haemophilus parainfluenzae. The abundance of microorganisms was represented in the form of Log10CFU (x103). The abundance of periopathogens evaluated in this research was different in periimplantitis patients, periodontitis patients and normal healthy subjects with slight greater abundance of peripathogens in patient with periimplantitis.
