For decades, A ggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans has been considered the most likely
etiologic agent in aggressive periodontitis. Implementation of DNA‐based microbiologic …

Background: Detailed genetic analysis of bacteria has demonstrated an unanticipated
genetic diversity within species, which often reveals evolutionary lineages that are …

Objectives: To explore the microbiological and periodontal changes occurring in
adolescents during 12 months of orthodontic therapy with removable aligners (Invisalign®) …

Objective: The aim of this prospective study was to compare the periodontal health and the
microbiological changes via real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in patients treated …

As more original molecular protocols and subsequent modifications are described in the
literature, it has become difficult for those not directly involved in the development of these …

For decades, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans has been associated with aggressive
forms of periodontitis in adolescents. In the middle of the 1990s, a specific JP2 clone of A …

Health-care systems that develop rapidly and efficiently may increase the lifespan of
humans. Nevertheless, the older population is more fragile, and is at an increased risk of …

The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of periodontal disease and the effect of
periodontal treatment in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthritis (SpA) …

For many years, attention has been given to the oral bacterium Aggregatibacter
actinomycetemcomitans, as a species possibly implicated in the etiology of aggressive …

Purpose To investigate the global prevalence of the JP2 genotype of Aggregatibacter
actinomycetemcomitans (Aa). Methods A comprehensive electronic search of databases …
