Abstract

AIM AND OBJECTIVES: To assess the prevalence of the three putative periodontal pathogens such as

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eighty-four participants of varied demographics and oral/dental care habits were screened for this study. Twenty-one participants who eventually gave their consent to fully participate in the study provided a balanced representation of the screened universe.

RESULTS: Seventy-eight microbiological samples were taken from the deepest pockets. Twenty-three percent of all samples were found to be

CONCLUSIONS: This qualitative study shows very high frequency of the three periodontal pathogens (
