Aggressive periodontitis is often characterised by a rapid loss of periodontal attachment associated with highly pathogenic bacteria and an impaired immune response. Various studies have associated Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, formerly known as Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, with aggressive periodontitis.
Aggressive periodontitis refers to periodontal disease of an aggressive and rapid nature that usually occurs in patients younger than 30 years. The severity of the disease appears to be an exuberant reaction to a minimum amount of plaque accumulation and may result in early tooth loss.
1 Sep 2016 · Aggressive periodontitis was defined by the 1999 International Workshop for the Classification of Periodontal Diseases according to three primary characteristics: absence of systemic conditions that might contribute to periodontal disease, rapid loss of clinical attachment and alveolar bone, and familial aggregation of diseased individuals. 3 A ...
5 Dis 2022 · Delatola and colleagues reported 3 clusters among stage III or IV, grade C periodontitis cases. Among the 3 clusters, a particular cluster with a unique localized alveolar bone loss pattern among young people received systemic antimicrobial agents more often.
12 Jan 2012 · Aggressive periodontitis, as the name implies is a type of periodontitis where there is rapid destruction of periodontal ligament and alveolar bone which occurs in otherwise systemically healthy individuals generally of a younger age group but patients may be older [ 1, 2 ].
21 Jun 2018 · Since the initial description of aggressive periodontitis (AgP) in the early 1900s, classification of this disease has been in flux. The goal of this manuscript is to review the existing literature and to revisit definitions and diagnostic criteria for AgP.
24 Feb 2023 · Periodontitis (per-e-o-don-TIE-tis), also called gum disease, is a serious gum infection that damages the soft tissue around teeth. Without treatment, periodontitis can destroy the bone that supports your teeth.
Aggressive periodontitis comprises a group of rare, often severe, rapidly progressive forms of periodontitis, often characterized by an early age of clinical manifestation and a distinctive tendency for cases to aggregate in families.
Aggressive periodontitis is distinguished from chronic periodontitis by the age of onset, the rapid rate of destruction, composition of the subgingival microflora, alteration in the host immune response, familial aggregation of diseased individuals, and a strong racial influence. HISTORY.
5 Feb 2015 · A compelling example of early onset periodontal destruction is given by localized aggressive periodontitis (LAgP), characterized by a circumpubertal onset and a strong antibody response to periodontal pathogenic bacteria. 5 LAgP affects first molars and incisors, the first teeth to erupt in the mouth at age 6–8.
