Evaluation of the Presence of Porphyromonas gingivalis and Its Correlation With Signs and Symptoms in Endodontic-Periodontal Lesions: A Cross-Sectional Study
Cross-sectional study evaluates the correlation between porphyromonas gingivalis and clinical signs in endodontic-periodontal lesions, suggesting its role in disease severity.
Key Points
Porphyromonas gingivalis was found in 46.9% of endodontic-periodontal lesions, indicating its prevalence in these infections.
Statistically significant associations were observed between P. gingivalis and symptoms like pain and furcation involvement, demonstrating its impact.
The study utilized root canal samples and statistical tests including chi-square and Fisher’s exact test to evaluate clinical findings.
Detection of P. gingivalis correlated with more severe endodontic-periodontal lesions, highlighting its potential role in disease progression.
