Differences could not be detected between the populations of total aerobes, total anaerobes, Bacteroides melaninogenicas, or Bmcterionerna matruchotii in plaque from periodontally diseased (PD) monkeys and that taken from normal animals (N). Although all animals were fed the same high carbohydrate diet for more than two years, the PD monkeys had a much greater abundance of plaque than the N monkeys. It is suggested that this difference is due to fibrin and blood coagulum providing a aides for the deposition of plaque and blood or serum from the ulcerated col, and later from the ulcerated crevicular epithelium, promoting the growth of microorganisms at the gingival margin.
