In patients with gingival cicatricial pemphigoid (CP), clinical experience has shown that periodontal treatment is beneficial in addition to medical treatment, because the latter does not always allow optimal gingival healing. However in practice, the basic periodontal treatment, combining subgingival scaling and debridement, may be insufficient especially for severe forms of erosive gingivitis. Therefore, a better knowledge of the periopathogenic flora in such patients would facilitate the implementation of a more appropriate and efficient periodontal therapy. In order to meet this objective, we propose a qualitative analysis of the periodontal microbiota in case of gingival CP via a bi-centric observational microbiological pilot study.
