Management of Aggressive Periodontitis- A Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Aggressive periodontitis generally affects systemically healthy individuals less than 30 years of age. It is distinguished from chronic periodontitis by the age of onset, rapid rate of disease progression, alterations in host immune response, familial aggregation and minimal amount of deposits. It can be localised or generalised depending on the tooth involvement. Management of aggressive periodontitis is a crucial process involving regular maintenance visits. This case report describes the management of a 24 year old male with atypical presentation of aggressive periodontitis during a 6 month follow up visit.
