Abstract
- Periodontitis, an inflammatory disease of the oral cavity, was caused by microbes from bacteria to protozoa. In this study, we detected protozoa, Entamoeba gingivalis and other three common pathogenic bacteria, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema denticola, and Tannerella forsythia by the Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on patients.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest All authors declare no conflicts of interest.<br /> (Copyright © 2020.
