Microbiological samples were taken using dark field microscopy.Results: The results show that 60% of the abscesses affected untreated periodontits. Ninety percentage of thepatients reported pain and more than 75% of the abscesses had moderate to severe score related to swelling,edema and redness. Bleeding occurs in all abscesses, while suppuration was detected in 70% and 85% of teethpresented some degree of mobility the mean associated pocket was 7.1 mm. The microbiological examinationshowed that the spirochetes were the predominant bacteria (41.8%) while coccid bacteria were present in lowernumber (19.22%) .Conclusion: The periodontal abscess has clear clinical characteristics and usually associated with sever e periodontal distraction. The lesion has a large mass with a large prevalence of periodontal pathogen.Key words: Periodontal abscess, clinical parameters and microbiology. (J Bagh Coll Dentistry 2008; 20(1) 58-61) | ||
