Aggressive Periodontitis

Aggressive periodontitis is a severe form of periodontal disease that spreads quickly and can cause considerable harm to the teeth and supporting bone structure if not addressed. Unlike the more frequent, slower-progressing form of periodontitis, aggressive periodontitis can result in rapid gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss in a short period of time.
This illness usually affects people who are generally healthy and have no obvious risk factors, such as systemic diseases. Aggressive periodontitis is frequently characterised by severe gum inflammation, extensive pockets between the gums and teeth, and rapid bone loss. It might be localised (affecting only a few teeth) or generalised (affecting many teeth).
The primary cause of aggressive periodontitis is the accumulation of plaque and tartar on the teeth, which contains dangerous germs. Genetics, poor dental hygiene, and smoking all raise the likelihood of acquiring this illness.
Professionals commonly use thorough cleaning, scaling, and root planing to treat aggressive periodontitis. In some circumstances, surgical operations may be required to replace missing bone or gum tissue. Early detection and treatment are critical for avoiding further harm and maintaining dental health.
