The red complex is a group of bacteria that are categorized together based on their association with severe forms of periodontal disease.[1] The red complex—among a number of other complexes—were classified by Sigmund Socransky in 1998.[2]

The three members of the red complex are:

  1. Porphyromonas gingivalis
  2. Tannerella forsythia
  3. Treponema denticola
