Eighty-six men and 63 women with periodontitis participated in this investigation, at the start of which clinical indices were recorded and the pocket contents from one periodontally involved site for each patient were analysed. The numbers of spirochaetes, other motile microorganisms, non-motile filaments, rods or cocci and of granulocytes, monocytes and epithelial cells were determined. After non-surgical treatment 98 patients (P-group) were unsuccessfully and 51 (C-group) were successfully treated. At baseline the P-group had significantly higher numbers of spirochaetes (p = 0.0001) and polymorphonuclear leucocytes (p = 0.0256) than the C-group. The number of rods was statistically higher in the C-group (p = 0.0254). There was no significant difference between the groups with respect to the number of remaining teeth, plaque or calculus scores. Significantly higher values were found in the P-group for bleeding on probing (p = 0.0434), number of pockets greater than or equal to 5 mm (p = 0.0001), mean pocket depths (p = 0.0001), percentage bone loss per site (p = 0.0001) and the number of sites with greater than or equal to 20% bone loss on radiographs (p = 0.0001).
