The oral protozoa frequency has been studied in 300 patients consulting for oral problems. Entamoeba gingivalis has been isolated more frequently in culture than Trichomonas tenax (50.7% against 28%). The age range which showed the highest frequency in protozoa was the 30-34 year old group for the amoeba and the 45-54 year old group for the flagellae. The endemia increased progressively in relation to the OHIS index. Trichomonas tenax is three times more frequent in case of deep periodontal diseases whereas, Entamoeba gingivalis reached its highest frequency in the case of gingivitis. The pathogenic potentials of these protozoa have been discussed in the light of these correlations and some therapeutical arguments.
对300名因口腔问题前来咨询的患者的口腔原生动物感染频率进行了研究。在培养物中，牙龈内阿米巴的分离频率高于口腔毛滴虫（分别为50.7%和28%）。原生动物感染频率最高的年龄范围，阿米巴为30 - 34岁组，鞭毛虫为45 - 54岁组。地方病发病率随OHIS指数逐渐增加。在重度牙周疾病患者中，口腔毛滴虫感染频率高出三倍，而牙龈内阿米巴在牙龈炎患者中感染频率最高。根据这些相关性以及一些治疗观点，对这些原生动物的致病潜力进行了讨论。
