The purpose of the study was to evaluate, from a microbiological point of view, microbiota around teeth and implants in the same patient affected by periodontal disease and peri-implant disease, all compared with a healthy tooth. From the identification of particular bacterial species in the examined sites, it is intended to be traced back to the identification of a clear etiopathogenic process, which may shed light on the similarities and differences between the two diseases. In recognition of these mechanisms, the investigators think to develop new therapeutic strategies for the future.

Harvested via sterile paper points, for endodontic use, the sulcular fluid present around a dental element affected by periodontitis, and, in the same patient, the fluid present inside a peri-implant sulcus of a implant affected periimplantitis. If more implants are considered affected by perimplantitis, partecipant will choose the worst as sample site. The same principle will be followed in the case of the tooth affected by periodontal disease. The samples must be underwent to bacterial genomic meta-analysis for the precise identification of bacterial. For a better comparation of the flora, even a healthy tooth from the same patient will be choose like test site and a gingival crevicular fluide will be harvested on it.
The investigators think that the perfect knowledge of the pathogen species is the starter point from a correct therapeutic strategy. But is really important take in mind the individual characteristcs of oral microflora.
The data to be noted at the outset are:
Signs and symptoms of periodontal disease, with precise framing within the Armitage 1999 Classification, and peri-implant disease. For the aim of the study definition of perimplantitis concern an implant with a 4 mm minimal probing depth with bleeding on probing and or suppuration (BOP and Supp) and radiographic bone loss (BL).
Evidence of BL recorded in order of definition of 8th European Consensus Conference of Periodontology Working group 4: BL > 2 mm from the expected bone level if a preliminary rx was absent; Rx 2-3 times the SD of the measurement record (1-1,5 mm) in case a preliminary rx was present.
Pretreatment of the sample sites in order to avoid contamination of the samples by the supragingival bacterial plaque will proceed as follows:
Sampling procedure: The harvested will be carried out through sterile paper point the extent to tip 30 and ISO taper 4%. The sampling technique will be that shown in the figure and marked with the letter c (intracrevicular deep method) until minimum resistance is felt. Each paper point will remain in place for 5 sec, then it will be readily stored in a special sterile container, stored in a refrigerated and delivered within 60 minutes Institute environment that will carry out the examination. Any harvested that show blood contamination will be excluded from the exam.
Microbiological Protocol
The libraries will be purified by magnetic beads (AgencourtAmpure XP, Beckman), and the concentration and distribution of the fragments of the libraries will be evaluated on DNA Chip 1000 in the microanalyzer 2100 (Agilent Technologies). The analysis of the sequences (amplicon data sets) and the determination of OTU (OperationalTaxonomicUnits) will be performed by QIIME pipeline using as 16S rRNA gene database Green genes .
