Abstract

Helicobacter pylori have been found associated with dental plaque. It was suggested
that the oral environment may be one of the many potential pathways for their
transmission. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the oral cavity is a
potential reservoir and possible sanctuary for Helicobacter pylori. Supragingival and
subgingival plaques were analyzed by a Helicobacter genus-specific reverse
transcriptase-fragment was identified.
