Prevalence and proportion of black-pigmented Bacteroides species (BPB) in supragingival and subgingival plaque were determined in ten adult periodontitis patients. Serum antibody against Bacteroides gingivalis (Bg) of these patients were tested using ELISA. Clinical parameters (PI, GI, PD, AL) were collected prior to blood withdrawn. Results showed that BPB were detected in all patients. Mean serum anti-Bg IgG level was significantly greater in the patient group than that in healthy control group. Although the sample size was too small to show statistical difference, there was a trend showing the sera anti-Bg IgG level tended to be greater in accordance with the increase of disease severity and BPB%.

D010512	Periodontal Index	A numerical rating scale for classifying the periodontal status of a person or population with a single figure which takes into consideration prevalence as well as severity of the condition. It is based upon probe measurement of periodontal pockets and on gingival tissue status.

D010518	Periodontitis	Inflammation and loss of connective tissues supporting or surrounding the teeth. This may involve any part of the PERIODONTIUM. Periodontitis is currently classified by disease progression (CHRONIC PERIODONTITIS; AGGRESSIVE PERIODONTITIS) instead of age of onset.

D003773	Dental Plaque	A film that attaches to teeth, often causing DENTAL CARIES and GINGIVITIS. It is composed of MUCINS, secreted from salivary glands, and microorganisms.	Plaque, Dental
D003774	Dental Plaque Index	An index which scores the degree of dental plaque accumulation.	Dental Plaque Indexes,Dental Plaque Indices,Index, Dental Plaque,Indexes, Dental Plaque,Indices, Dental Plaque
D004797	Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay	An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
