Abstract

Objectives: to determine the relation between risk factors such as the present of some putative bacteria in sub- gingival plaque, tobacco smoking, age, sex and periodontitis status in one Vietnamese group. Methods: it was case-control study that carried out in 113 subjects with the age of 20 to 75 included 75 periodontitis patients and 38 healthy periodontal status. Based on full mouth examination, clinical criteria were recorded and sub-gingival plaque samples were collected. PCR and culture method was used to determine the present of the putative micro pathogens in samples. The result was analyzed by medical software. Results: There was the closed relation between the present of A.actinomycetemcomitans, T.forsythensis, F. nucleatum và P.intermedia   and smoking with OR (CI 95%) was 7,50; 3,31; 2,37 và 2,17, respectively. The age over 35 years old had firmly relation with periodontitis (OR was 4,28 and p <0,01). Conclusions: The risk factor as smoking, age effect  directly  to  micro  flora  in  sub-gingival  plaque  that  do  effect  the  initiation  and progression of periodontitis. Those factors could be considered markers for the serious of periodontitis and was using for prediction the outcome of treatment.
