CLINICAL FEATURES
1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1.
7. 8. 9. 10. Accumulation of supragingival and subgingival plaque and calculus. Gingival inflammation. Pocket formation. Loss of attachment and bone. Presence of inflammatory swelling. Color ranging from pale red to magenta (purplish red). Loss of stippling. Blunted or rolled gingival margin. Blunt or flattened interdental papilla.
Increase gingival fluid exudation. Purulent exudate may be present. Signs of inflammation may be masked because of the fibrotic changes. Horizontal and vertical bone loss. Progressive increase in the mobility of the teeth involved. Can be clinically diagnosed by: Presence of deepened gingival sulcus (pocket). Vertical zone of inflammatory changes from the marginal gingiva to the extent of attached gingiva involved. Loss of clinical attachment:

Age of the patient. Rate of disease progression. Familial nature of aggressive disease. Can be correlated with the amount of plaque and calculus present.
DISEASE DISTRIBUTION
Chronic periodontitis is :

DISEASE PROGRESSION
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
Slow rate but may be modified by systemic and / or environmental and behavioral factors . Onset can occur any time in the presence of plaque and calculus . Usually becomes more evident in the mid - 30s therefore has accumulative effect . Does not progress at an equal rate in all affected sites . Some areas may remain static . More rapid progress in interdental areas .
PREVALENCE
1. 2. 3.
Increase in prevalence and severity with age . Affects both sexes equally . Age associated disease , not age related and occurs depending on disease duration . 4/12/12

LOCAL FACTORS :
Plaque accumulation on tooth and gingival surfaces is considered primary etiologic agent . Increase in the proportion of gram ve organisms in the subgingival plaque biofilm like Bacteroides gingivalis, Bacteroides forsythus, and Treponema denticola . These microorganisms are associated with attachment and bone loss in chronic periodontitis and known as RED COMPLEX . These bacteria impart a local effect on : The cells of inflammatory response. Cells and tissues of the host . Results in a local site specific disease process .

Calculus is the most important plaque retentive factor because of its ability to retain and
Other factors that retain plaque or prevent its removal are : Subgingival and / or overhanging margins of restorations . Furcations exposed by loss of attachment and bone . Crowded or malaligned teeth . Root grooves and concavities .
2. SYSTEMIC FACTORS :
a) b) c)
The rate of periodontal destruction is increased in patient suffering from systemic disease . Diabetes is a systemic condition that increase the severity and extent of periodontal disease in an affected patient . Type 1 or Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus ( IDDM ) is observed in children, teenagers, and young adults may lead to increased periodontal destruction when it is uncontrolled .

Smokers form more supragingival and less subgingival calculus . They demonstrate less bleeding on probing than nonsmokers .
GENETIC FACTORS :
Periodontal destruction seen among family members and across different generations within family. Recent studies demonstrate a familial aggregation of localized and generalized aggressive periodontitis. Studies of monozygotic twins suggest a genetic component to chronic periodontitis . More aggressive periodontal breakdown in response to plaque and calculus accumulation may exist . Recent data indicates a genetic variation or polymorphism in the genes encoding interleukin 1 - alpha and interleukin 1- beta . These are associated with an increased susceptibility to a more aggressive form of chronic periodontitis. Smokers demonstrating the composite IL 1 genotype are at greater risk for severe diseases. Heavy smokers and IL- 1 genotype increase risk of tooth loss by 2.9 times . The combined effect of IL- 1genotype and smoking increased the risk of tooth loss by 7.7 times .

AGGRESSIVE PERIODONTITIS
4/12/12
OBJECTIVES
4/12/12
DEFINITION
A bacterial disease of the teeth and gingiva that manifests before age 35, often in prepubescent children. It is caused primarily by the bacterium Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, leading to rapid tissue deterioration.
4/12/12
4/12/12
CLASSIFICATION
Aggressive Periodontitis
Localized Aggressive
4/12/12
Generalized Aggressive
ETIOLOGY
CAUSATIVE ORGANISM:
Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans is a bacterial species including Gram negative, nonmotile, capnophilic short rods. It is considered as one of the most prominent pathogenic micro organism associated with periodontal diseases, mostly aggressive periodontitis.

TREATMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Initial therapy. Antibmicrobial therapy. Antimicrobial therapy & non-surgical management Antimicrobial therapy & surgical management Surgical procedures. Grafting procedures. Tooth transplantation. Other dental consideration
4/12/12
TREATMENT
Depends on type and degree of destruction Management of LAP: Extraction of involved teeth (depends on severity of tissue loss) Periodontal therapy: Plaque control instruction Debridement with or without flap surgery Irrigation with CHX, home rinsing with CHX Bone grafts, root resections, hemisections Frequent maintenance visits 1/month for 6 months, then every 3 months
4/12/12
Antibiotic therapy:
Adjunctive therapy often required to eliminate A.a. from tissues Tetracycline (250 mg qid for 2 weeks) Metronidazole combined with amoxicillin Doxycycline
4/12/12
Management of GAP:
Careful monitoring of younger clients with GAP b/c rate of disease progression is often faster Maintenance every 3 weeks or less is recommended if disease in active phase Periodontal therapy:
Debridement in combination with antibiotic therapy, strict plaque control, CHX irrigation & rinsing Periodontal surgery

Antibiotic therapy:
Highly recommended that microbial diagnostic & susceptibility testing be done Combination therapies include:

A.a. found in large numbers in LAP A.a. produces a strong leukotoxin kills neutrophils Different strains of A.a. produce different levels of leukotoxin Highly toxic strains produce greater numbers of leukotoxin Depressed neutrophil chemotaxis & phacytosis common for both forms Neutrophil dysfunction has genetic basis BUT, not all people with this dysfunction have aggressive perio AND not all people with the dysfunction have aggressive perio

PREVALENCE
Localized aggressive periodontitis affects both males and females and is seen most frequently in the period between puberty and 20 years of age. Some studies have suggested a predilection for female patients, particularly in the youngest age groups. Blacks are at higher risk for LAP. And black male teenagers are 2.9 times more likely to have the disease than black female adolescents.
4/12/12
In a study of untreated periodontal disease conducted in Sri Lanka by Loe et al, 8% of the population had rapid progression of periodontal disease, characterized by a yearly loss of attachment of 0.1 to 1.0 mm. Blacks are at much higher risk than whites for all forms of aggressive periodontitis, and male teenagers were more likely to have GAP than female adolescents.
