Introduction:-The previouslydescribed condition of localized juvenile
periodontitis has been replaced by the term localized aggressive periodontitis.
This condition presents a classic pattern and occurs in healthy children and
adolescents without clinical evidence of systemic disease. It is characterized
by the rapid and severe loss of alveolar bone around more than one permanent
tooth, usually the first molars and incisors. Case report:- A 13-year-old
female presented with clinical and radiographic evidence of severe attachment
loss around several permanent teeth. She had no history of systemic disease,
periodontal disease, or caries prior to the periodontal abscess that prompted
her referral. Conclusion:- The early diagnosis and the management of these
cases can help dentist to maintain the health and function of the permanent
teeth and their surrounding structures. - See more at:
