[Studies of oral microbiocenosis. III. Incidence of microorganisms of the Mycoplasma genus].

Microorganisms of the Mycoplasma genus were found in the washing fluids of the oral cavity in 2% of healthy youths, and in 57.1% of patients with parodontal lesions: 25.7% in the buccal fluid, 17.1% in the dental tartar and 34.2% in the gingiva exsudate. Microplasma was not found in dental caries and in the radicular canals with pulpar gangrene. Although these microorganisms were frequently found in subjects with parodontal lesions they cannot be implicated with certainty in their aetiology.
