“…Furthermore, the findings of this study revealed a need for validation in a larger sample size.Materials and methodsThis study ensured that the overall oral health assessment of dogs under 20 kg matched with sampled groups, thus eliminating the influence of environmental factors on the results. Furthermore, 1,054 GCF samples were analyzed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) for 12 bacteria, including the same 11 putative periodontopathic bacteria [Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa), Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), Tannerella forsythia (Tf), Td, Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn), Prevotella nigrescens (Pn), Prevotella intermedia (Pi), Parvimonas micra (Pm), Eubacterium nodatum (En), Campylobacter rectus (Cr), and Eikenella corrodens (Ec)] and Porphyromonas gulae (P. gulae), suspected to be a major causative agent of periodontitis in dogs in some statistical evaluatioins.ResultsInterestingly, the present study found that Fn was strongly associated with gingivitis and reconfirmed a strong association between Td and periodontitis (irreversible periodontal disease). …”
