- The aim of this study was to determine whether the levels of sub-gingival plaque Porphyromonas gingivalis were associated with clinical parameters in periodontal diseased patients. Twenty-three adult subjects were participated and intra-oral examinations for recording clinical parameters of the selected tooth were then carried out. Sub-gingival plaque samples were obtained from the selected tooth and the levels of P. gingivalis of these samples were detected by ELISA. The results showed that increased levels of sub-gingival plaque P. gingivalis were significantly associated with increased dental plaque scores (r2 = 0.7981), severity of gingival inflammation (r2 = 0.6703), and gingival pocket depth (r2 = 0.7787), but weakly with increased sub-gingival calculus (r2 = 0.2659) and tooth mobility (r2 = 0.4201) scores. The levels of this periodontopathogen in the subjects with gingival bleeding upon probing were significantly higher than those of without gingival bleeding Sosroseno, W. and Herminajeng, W.
