DentalReach Clinical Contributor:

Porphyromonas gingivalis is the main contributor to periodontal disease. Bacteria form biofilms by attaching themselves to the host and to each other by. Interpretation should account for design, sample, comparator, confounding, effect size and follow-up. Statistical association or technical accuracy does not automatically equal a clinically meaningful benefit.

DentalReach Practice Perspective:

Stage, grade, inflammatory burden, phenotype, smoking, glycaemic status and maintenance adherence affect applicability. Adjuncts should never displace effective biofilm control, risk modification and supportive periodontal care.
