“…In accordance to our results, Hassan et al [15] and Garcia et al [17] reported that the prevalence of E. gingivalis differs among patients with periodontitis, gingivitis and healthy individuals but remains higher in those patients with periodontal disease compared with healthy control group, as this study reported. Therefore, it was hypothesized that this protozoa might be involved in the pathogenesis and progression of periodontal disease (periodontitis and gingivitis) [16,11]. Consequently, the results of this study were compatible with these results, as the patients with periodontal disease in this study were more susceptible to E. gingivalis.…”

“…This prepared a thin film which was then examined immediately with a light microscope at 10X and 40X. The identification of E. gingivalis was established by its shape depending on the expansion of pseudopodia formation, and sluggish movement [11]. Three smears of wet mount method for each samples used to strength the chance of detection of parasites.…”

The present study was carried out to determine the prevalence of Entamoeba gingivalis among 300 (156 males and 144 females) participants divided into three groups as follows: 100 patients with periodontitis (periodontitis group), 100 patients with gingivitis (gingivitis group), and 100 individuals with healthy gingiva (healthy control group), using wet mount technique with physiological saline and Giemsa stain. The overall prevalence of E. gingivalis was 18.3% and the highest prevalence of E. gingivalis was among periodontitis group (29%) followed by gingivitis group (18%), and healthy group (8%). The highest prevalence (23.7%) of E. gingivalis was found among the age group 40-49 years. Infection was highly significant in males than females (23.7% vs.12.5%). With regard to risk factors, the prevalence of E. gingivalis was common in non-tooth brush users, smokers, qat chewers, and diabetic patients and there were significant differences between tooth-brush users and non-tooth brush users, smokers and non-smokers, qat chewers and non-gat chewers, and between diabetic and non-diabetic patients and occurrence of E. gingivalis. We conclude that the higher prevalence of E. gingivalis in periodontal disease compared to healthy individuals may be an indicator of the potential role E. gingivalis in the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases.

Initial functions of lactoferrin were due to the fact that it is very similar to transferrin, iron binding protein, whose key role in providing iron to developing erythrocytes was already known. Iron is an extremely important element for the development of not only macroorganism, but also microorganisms. The aim of the study was to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of the use of various forms of lactoferrin in relation to experimentally modeled polyvid microbial consortia of an odontogenic nature. According to the results of the conducted studies, it was shown that this protein has a pronounced bacteriostatic effect, and has an inhibitory effect against various types of microorganisms with varying degrees of severity. Conclusion. All the samples under study have a clear bacteriostatic effect, and with an increase in the dose, signs of a bactericidal tendency are noted, which allows us to consider them as promising for the creation of dosage forms for dental practice.
