Diagnosis of infection with amoebic parasite that cause stomatitis

Abstract

The current study dealt with the first detailed diagnosis of gingival amoebiasis (Entamoeba gingivalis) that affects humans from samples taken from both the gums and teeth, and the results showed that the parasite infects both sexes with a total percentage (12.14). Statistical analysis proved that there was no significant difference between male and female infection rates (52.94%, 47.06%), respectively, which is the lowest percentage of infection compared to what was recorded in previous studies. The results indicated that the parasite can infect all ages obtained in the current study, and that the highest infection rate was in the age period 30-39 (41.18%). While the lowest percentage was in the age period >50 (17.65), the highest percentage of periodontitis was 7 (41.18), followed by dental infection 6 (35.29), and the lowest percentage was recorded in both locations 4 (23.53) , as well as, there was not a significant difference between the percentage of inflammation in the gums and teeth, while there is a significant difference in the inflammation that it affects the gums and  teeth together when compared to the percentage of gums and teeth separately The results recorded a relationship between amoebic and bacterial infections, and the high coefficient of Contingency value (0.988) indicated that there was a strong correlation between the presence of these two organisms.
