Summary

Investigators hypothesize that good oral hygiene may inhibit P. gingivalis, a keystone periodontal pathogen, entering mature dental plaque, which leads to a higher ratio of S. cristatus and P. gingivalis. Investigators will educate and train periodontitis patients following periodontal therapy to maintain periodontal health. Initial and intense education of periodontal health maintenance will be provided and the ratio of S. cristatus and P. gingivalis in dental plaques will be compared and analyzed for correlation between patient's execution of periodontal health maintenance and education tools or the ratio of S. cristatus and P. gingivalis.

Conditions

  • Chronical Periodontitis, Ratio of P. Gingivalis and S. Cristatus

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Intense education

we will inform patients with their own data including the number of P. gingivalis and ratio of S. cristatus and P. gingivalis detected immediately after periodontal treatment and 3 month after the treatment. Explaining these data in detail, in terms that the patient can understand, are equally as important as teaching the plaque control techniques.
