Abstract

Periodontal disease is an oral health problem worldwide. In the course of time, knowledge about gingivitis has greatly changed, and today, this is one of the most frequent diseases affecting the patients going to the dentistry service. This study was aimed at delving into the relationship between the dental plaque microorganisms and the periodontitis etiology. The dental plaque constitutes a complex microbial community; the interactions among the host species give rise to an ecological niche that favors growth and survival of strictly anaerobic proteolytic species as well as to adequate conditions for the onset of periodontitis.
