在遗传影响和生活方式足够相似的同质人群中可以更有效地研究牙周病，以消除其对疾病过程的影响。这项研究的重点是在密歇根州南部的阿米什人谁孤立自己从外部影响和他们的非阿米什邻居。总共接触了425名阿米什人和290名非阿米什人，结果有330名阿米什人和215名非阿米什人在家中接受了检查，参与率为76.2%。年龄18 - 82岁。牙周病的患病率在男性中往往较高，并随着年龄的增长而增加。阿米什女性（52%）略多于非阿米什女性（49%）。阿米什人牙周状况的平均值为附着丧失1.35 mm，牙周袋深度2.59 mm，牙结石0.24 mm，牙菌斑0.77 mm，牙龈炎0.74 mm。对于非阿米什人，附着丧失的平均值为1.03 mm，牙周袋深度为2.38 mm，牙石为0.40，牙菌斑为0.95，牙龈炎为0.87。有趣的是，阿米什人不实行常规的口腔卫生。只有36.8%的阿米什人报告每天至少刷牙1次，而非阿米什人的这一比例为84.6%。同样，只有8.2%的阿米什人报告每周至少使用牙线1次，而非阿米什人的这一比例为40.8%。
Periodontal disease can be more efficiently studied within a homogeneous population where genetic influences and lifestyles are similar enough to negate their effect on the disease process. This study focuses on an Amish population in southern Michigan who isolate themselves from outside influences and their non-Amish neighbors. A total of 425 Amish and 290 non-Amish were contacted resulting in 330 Amish and 215 non-Amish who were examined in their homes giving a participation rate of 76.2%. Ages ranged from 18 to 82 years. Prevalence of periodontal disease tended to be higher among males and increased with age. There were slightly more Amish females (52%) than non-Amish (49%). Means of periodontal conditions for Amish were 1.35 mm for attachment loss, 2.59 mm for pocket depth, 0.24 for calculus, 0.77 for plaque and 0.74 for gingivitis. For non-Amish, the means were 1.03 mm for attachment loss, 2.38 mm for pocket depth, 0.40 for calculus, 0.95 for plaque and 0.87 for gingivitis. It is of interest that the Amish do not practice routine oral hygiene. Only 36.8% of Amish reported brushing at least 1 x a day compared to 84.6% of non-Amish. Similarly, only 8.2% of Amish reported flossing at least 1 x a week compared to 40.8% of non-Amish.
