Abstract
The amount of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in the root surface-associated material from individual periodontally-involved teeth has been determined. LPS was found in the surface material from all of the teeth and the amount present ranged from 19-394 ng/tooth. No significant correlation was found between the amount of LPS extracted from a particular tooth and the mean pocket depth associated with the tooth. However, a weak correlation (rs = +0.461, 0.05 greater than p greater than 0.01) was found between the amount of LPS and the % loss of attachment.Entities:
