| Summary: | Aggressive forms of periodontitis are defined by rapid localized or generalized loss of the supportive
periodontal structures, occurring in familial groups in otherwise medically healthy subjects Aggressive
periodontitis consists in disease different phenotypes of plurifactorial etiology that appear as a result of
complexe interactions between specific genes of the host and environment. The interactions between the disease
process and the modifying factors (stress, smoking habit) are considered to influence the specific manifestations
of the disease. We present the case of a patient with localized aggressive periodontitis, with a late interception,
in a context of stress, chronic smoking and inadequate oral hygiene and diet as a background. Smoking, stress
and a poor oral hygiene are definetively risk factors that enhance the phenotypic manifestations of the
periodontal disease with an aggressive character. Therefore, such aspects must be considered in the diagnostic,
prognostic and therapy of the periodontal disease. |
