RESUMO

Recently, studies have linked the presence of the virus family herpesviridae and periodontal disease, which may be involved in the occurrence and progression of different forms of periodontal disease through the suppression of the immune system of the periodontium, release of cytotoxins, pro-inflammatory mediators and immunopathological events, may promote growth of subgingival microorganisms. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the prevalence of herpes virus in sub-gingival plaque of patients with gingivitis is equal to patients with chronic periodontitis. Thus, this study aimed to determine the presence of the virus Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and Epstein-Barr virus type 1 (EBV-1), relating to the presence of bacteria as periodontopathogens: Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa), Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), Prevotella intermedia (Pi), Tannerella forsythia (Tf) and Dialister pneumosintes (Dp) in subgingival plaque samples collected from 30 patients with chronic periodontitis (CP group), 30 patients with gingivitis (group G) and 30 periodontally healthy subjects (group C). We collected four samples of subgingival plaque from the deepest site in each quadrant and in the PC group and patients in group C and G, a random site in each quadrant was examined. The detection of bacterial species and herpes virus in subgingival plaque of the groups were identified by PCR and nested PCR respectively. Statistical analysis showed that HCMV was detected with a similar frequency among the three groups and significant difference in prevalence of HSV-1, EBV-1 and P. intermedia in patients with gingivitis in the control group. The chronic periodontitis was associated with EBV-1 and the five bacteria studied, and the association of the virus (EBV-1 + HCMV, EBV-1 + HSV-1, HSV-1 + HCMV) and between viruses and bacteria (EBV-1+ P.intermedia, EBV-1 + P. gingivalis; HCMV + T. forsythia; HCMV + A. actinomycetemcomitans, HSV-1 + T. forsythia; HSV-1 + P. gingivalis).
