Development of a Molecular Diagnosing Platform for Relieving Periodontal Symptoms
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
More than ninety percent of adults in Taiwan are suspected to carry periodontal disease, which causes bad breath, swollen and bleeding gums, plaque and even tooth loss. Half of the patients, however, are ignorance these clinical syndromes because of no obvious pain. In this study, the investigators selected six periodontal disease-associated bacteria strains, including Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn), Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (Aa), Tannerella forsythia (Tf), Treponema denticola (Td) and Prevotella intermedia (Pi) as diagnostic markers. Using real-time PCR and MALDI Biotyper, the investigators will establish the database of oral microorganisms in Taiwanese people, providing periodontal disease clinical markers of high-risk groups and the basis for personal medicine of therapy in the future.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The change of PSR score, GI, PI, and oral bacteria strains between periodontal disease patients and healthy people after receiving periodontal therapy and using mouthwash [9 month]
To compare the value of PSR score (0-4 point), GI (0-4 point), and PI (0-5 point) with periodontal disease patients older than 60 years of age, periodontal disease patients younger than 60 years of age and healthy people after receiving periodontal therapy and using mouthwash. Oral bacteria strains are also compared with these groups.
