Abstract

Abstract: The protozoan Entamoeba gingivalis, commonly resided in the oral cavity and pharynx, is the first described amoeba in human. Entamoeba gingivalis frequently presents a significantly higher prevalence in patients with poor oral hygiene or some oral diseases, especially in the periodontal pockets of periodontitis. Although this species of Entamoeba used to be regarded as a symbiotic microorganism, with the continuous development of detection and analysis techniques, studies in recent years have shown that there may be a close relationship between Entamoeba gingivalis and periodontitis. This article reviews the research progress on the correlation between Entamoeba gingivalis and periodontitis.

Key words: Entamoeba gingivalis, oral microorganism, periodontitis, pathogenic mechanism, treatment
