1. Periodontal Diseases:

   • Filifactor alocis has been detected in periodontal pockets and associated with periodontal diseases. It is often found in conjunction with other periodontal pathogens, contributing to the complex microbial community associated with these conditions.

2. Inflammatory Response:

   • The presence of Filifactor alocis has been linked to an inflammatory response in the periodontal tissues. Inflammation is a key feature of periodontal diseases and can lead to tissue destruction if not properly controlled.

3. Association with Aggressive Periodontitis:

   • Filifactor alocis has been particularly associated with aggressive forms of periodontitis, which can progress rapidly and result in severe destruction of the periodontal tissues.

4. Biofilm Formation:

   • Like many oral bacteria, Filifactor alocis can contribute to the formation of biofilms on tooth surfaces. Biofilms are communities of microorganisms embedded in a matrix of extracellular polymeric substances, and they play a role in the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases.

5. Potential Role in Dysbiosis:

   • Dysbiosis refers to an imbalance in the microbial community. The presence and activities of Filifactor alocis, along with other periodontal pathogens, can contribute to dysbiosis in the oral microbiome, potentially exacerbating periodontal diseases.

Lab Reporting

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.

Desired Levels Suggestions for Filifactor alocis

• Lab Low and High are calculated using the formula that most labs use: Mean - 1.95 Standard Deviation to Mean + 1.95 Standard Deviation
