MICROBIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PATIENTS WITH GENERALIZED CATARRHAL GINGIVITIS

The article presents the results of the study of the oral microflora of 82 patients with generalized catarrhal gingivitis with chronic and exacerbated course before treatment and prevention measures. Polymerase chain reaction using reverse DNA hybridization DNA probes was used to identify the main periodontal pathogens. Biochemical identification of anaerobic bacteria, streptococci and gram-negative bacteria was performed using a test system from ARI (France).
