27 Subjects with active destructive periodontal diseases were treated by modified Widman flap surgery and systemic tetracycline and divided into 4 groups based on pre- and post-therapy hazard rates (% of sites losing > 3 mm of attachment in 1 year). Pre- and post-therapy hazard rates were respectively: group I (3 subjects) < 4 and < 4; group II (8 subjects) > 4 and < 4; group III (3 subjects) < 4 and G 4; group IV (refractory group of 13 subjects) > 4 and > 4. Baseline mean pocket depths and attachment loss of groups I and II subjects were less than groups III and IV subjects and exhibited less suppuration. 6 group IV subjects lost a total of 38 teeth after therapy, in contrast to no tooth loss in subjects in the other 3 groups. Redness, bleeding on probing, plaque levels and age did not differ among groups. Subjects in the 4 groups differed in the subgingival species to which they showed elevated serum antibody responses. Group IV subjects showed elevated responses to a select range of gram-negative species, including Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans strains Y4 or ATCC 29523, Fusobacterium nucleatum and Bacteroides intermedius. No subject in any of the other groups exhibited an elevated response to B. intermedius. The mean % of each species in all sampled sites, both before and after therapy, was computed for each subject. Subjects in groups III and IV (high post-therapy hazard rates) exhibited elevated mean levels of B. forsythus, F. nucleatum, Streptococcus intermedius, Eikenella corrodens, and B. gingivalis. Groups I and II subjects showed elevated mean levels of an unnamed Actinomyces species. Refractory subjects (group IV) did not constitute a homogeneous group. While subjects in this group had higher levels of pathogens, it appeared that they differed in the combination of predominant species. 3 major microbial complexes were observed: (1) B. forsythus, F. nucleatum and Wolinella recta (3 subjects); (2) S. intermedius, B. gingivalis and Peptostreptococcus micros (3 subjects); (3) S. intermedius and F. nucleatum (7 subjects) with or without B. gingivalis.
