The investigation summarizes changes in the compsition of the microbial spectrum in the periodontal region focused on so-called periodontal pathogens, i.e. fusobacteria, veilonellae, pigment-forming bacteroids and actinobacilli assembled in a longitudinal study inadult patients with type 1 diabetes. From the results ensues that the microbial spectrum indeep periodontal pockets did not change significantly in the course of the trial, while in shallow periodontal pockets there was a gradual reduction of periodontal pathogens. Dental therapeutic and preventive intervention did not influence the prevalence of microbiological markers of diabetes (candidae, St. epidermidis).
