The purpose of this study was to compare the microbiological flora on mucosal surfaces of the tongue and the tonsils of individuals with and without periodontal breakdown. Twenty-four adults were selected on the basis of clinical parameters. The study included evaluation for the presence of spirochetes and motile organisms by phase-contrast microscopy and blackpigmented Bacteroides by cultivation. Results showed statistically significant differences in the prevalence of various types of microorganism on the tongue and the tonsils between both groups. A positive correlation could be demonstrated between the presence of motile organisms and Bacteroides intermedius on the tongue and periodontal breakdown. Furthermore, a positive correlation was found between the presence of motile organisms on the tonsils and periodontal breakdown. From the results of this study, it was concluded that the microbial composition of the tongue and the tonsils is associated with periodontal breakdown.
