Increased bacterial load of Filifactor alocis in deep periodontal pockets discriminate between periodontitis stage 3 and 4
The results demonstrate that the prevalence of <i>F. alocis</i> is increased in severe periodontitis cases, mainly at sites with deep periodontal pockets and greater attachment loss. Additionally, this bacterium possesses the diagnostic potential to differentiate periodontitis cases of different severities.
