BACKGROUND/AIM Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) associates with human chronic periodontitis (CP) progression. We previously demonstrated that butyric acid (BA), produced by periodontopathic bacteria, induced EBV lytic switch activator BZLF1 expression. We investigated whether short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in CP patients' saliva enabled EBV reactivation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Saliva was collected from seven CP patients and five periodontally healthy individuals. SCFAs were quantified using HPLC. BZLF1 mRNA and its pertinent p
