Microbiology of aggressive periodontitis

Periodontology 2000, 2014
AbstractFor decades, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans has been considered the most likely etiologic agent in aggressive periodontitis. Implementation of DNA‐based microbiologic methodologies has considerably improved our understanding of the composition of subgingival biofilms, and advanced open‐ended molecular techniques even allow for genome ...

Aggressive periodontitis and NOD2 variants

Journal of Human Genetics, 2020
Aggressive periodontitis (AgP) occurs at an early age and causes rapid periodontal tissue destruction. Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing protein 2 (NOD2) encodes a protein with two caspase recruitment domains and eleven leucine-rich repeats.

Epidemiology and demographics of aggressive periodontitis

Periodontology 2000, 2014
AbstractEpidemiologic studies of aggressive periodontitis have used different study designs and a range of examination methods and case definitions, and this greatly complicates the study of disease prevalence in populations. The wide range of disease case definitions, in particular, profoundly impacts the reported rate of disease, and the use of a ...

Host response in aggressive periodontitis

Periodontology 2000, 2014
AbstractIt is critical to understand the underlying host responses in aggressive periodontitis to provide a better appreciation of the risk and susceptibility to this disease. Such knowledge may elucidate the etiology and susceptibility to aggressive periodontitis and directly influence treatment decisions and aid diagnosis.

Definition of aggressive periodontitis in periodontal research. A systematic review

Journal of Clinical Periodontology, 2018
AbstractSince its introduction in 1999, the term aggressive periodontitis (AgP) has been the topic of many investigations. Articles supporting the International Workshop for a Classification of Periodontal Diseases list several disease features, but do not offer operational criteria for identifying cases.

Antimicrobials for the treatment of aggressive periodontitis

Oral Diseases, 2003
Aggressive periodontitis is characterized by a considerable attachment loss over a relatively short period of time. It may be the consequence of either the presence of highly aggressive pathogens or a highly susceptible host. In the first case, the use of antimicrobials should be beneficial in the treatment of those patients.

Involvement of Autoimmunity in the Pathogenesis of Aggressive Periodontitis [PDF]

Journal of Dental Research, 2010
The aim of this study was to investigate the involvement of autoimmune reactions to native and post-translationally modified extracellular matrix components in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Sera from individuals with aggressive periodontitis (AgP, n = 25), chronic periodontitis (CP, n = 14), and gingivitis (G, n = 18) were tested for the presence

Combined Periodontal and Implant Treatment of a Case of Aggressive Periodontitis

Journal of Oral Implantology, 2007
Aggressive periodontitis renders a great challenge to clinicians with regards to treatment and prosthodontic rehabilitation. A compromised remaining dentition and a tendency toward refractory disease make it difficult to establish a treatment plan that renders an adequate long-term prognosis.

Aggressive and acute periodontal diseases

Periodontology 2000, 2014
AbstractInflammatory periodontal diseases are highly prevalent, although most of these diseases develop and progress slowly, often unnoticed by the affected individual. However, a subgroup of these diseases include aggressive and acute forms that have a relatively low prevalence but show a rapid‐course, high rate of progression leading to severe ...

Prevalence of periodontal pathogens in Brazilians with aggressive or chronic periodontitis

Journal of Clinical Periodontology, 2005
AbstractObjectives: Previous studies suggest differences between geographically and racially distinct populations in the prevalence of periodontopathic bacteria as well as greater periodontal destruction associated with infection by highly leucotoxic Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans.
