Abstract:
Objective:To study the relationship between human cytome ga lovirus (HCMV) and chronic periodontitis. Methods: In 62 chronic periodontitis patients (27 male and 35 female), subgingival samples were colle cted from active periodontitis site,quiescent periodontitis site, and initial g ingivitis site of each subjects. Human cytomegalovirus was detected by nested - polymerase chain reaction method. Results: HCMV detectable ratio in the active periodontitis sites was significantly higher than that in the qui escent sites (38.7% VS 14.5%, P0.05).Conclusion:HCMV infection may be associated wi th the activity of chronic periodontitis.
