Identification of Filifactor Alocis in Periodontal Biofilms using Polymerase Chain Reaction Technique: A Cross-Sectional Study
The load of organism was significantly higher in the GAP group followed by the GCP group and lowest in the healthy group. Bacterial load was highest in teeth with deep pockets. Hence, <i>F.alocis</i> seems to be a powerful diagnostic marker organism for periodontal disease, and it should be considered an important periodontal pathogen.
