Subgingival plaque samples were collected from individuals with advanced periodontitis before and 3 to 11 weeks after scaling and root planing periodontal treatment. The plaque levels of Treponema denticola and Porphyromonas gingivalis antigens were measured before and after treatment by a quantitative immunoassay procedure using monoclonal antibodies specific for these oral bacteria. A decrease in mean levels of T. denticola (P less than .05) and P. gingivalis antigens (P less than .09) were observed following periodontal therapy. Improved health, as measured by a decrease in probing depth, was associated with a decrease in T. denticola antigen (P less than .05). These results suggest that the T. denticola levels of successfully treated sites decreased, while non-responding sites had levels of this microbial marker which were equal to or greater than the pre-treatment levels. These results provide additional evidence that T. denticola is associated with human adult severe periodontal disease, and can serve as a prognostic marker for disease recurrence.
