Periodontal diseases are inflammatory responses thought to be triggered by specific microorganisms colonizing in the gingival crevice. Theoretically, periodontal diseases could be prevented if the etiologic organisms were not allowed to colonize the subgingival area. The humoral immune response is one mechanism which may modulate bacterial colonization in the gingival crevice. To test the effect of systemic humoral immunity on subgingival colonization by bacteria, squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) were immunized with Bacteroides gingivalis, a black-pigmented Bacteroides sp. and putative periodontal pathogen. Immunized and sham-immunized monkeys were orally inoculated with 10(10) viable B. gingivalis during ligation of five teeth in one quadrant with bacterium-soaked suture material and distribution over the entire dentogingival margin. Immunization resulted in an increased level of immunoglobulin G anti-B. gingivalis in serum and was associated with a strong trend toward a statistically significant reduction in colonization of the gingival crevice by black-pigmented bacteroides.
