Resumen
CASTRO-RODRIGUEZ, Yuri. Periodontal disease in children and adolescents. Case report. Rev. Clin. Periodoncia Implantol. Rehabil. Oral [online]. 2018, vol.11, n.1, pp.36-38. ISSN 0719-0107. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.piro.2015.12.002.
Gingivitis is the most prevalent clinical condition in the gum diseases presented in children and adolescents, as well as being the most prevalent of all periodontal diseases. The progression of gingivitis to periodontitis involves the interplay of a number of risk and contributing factors that will progress into loss of periodontal attachment. This article aims to summarise the main characteristics of periodontal disease in children and to present the clinical diagnosis and treatment of a patient with localised periodontal disease on whom the basic periodontal treatment was performed to reverse the effects caused by the loss of periodontal attachment.
Results:
The monitoring of the case showed a reduction in bleeding index, plaque index, and oral hygiene index.
Conclusion:
It is concluded that periodontal evaluation of children and adolescents should be part of the routine dental examination as a conservative treatment can reverse the effects of periodontal disease in these patients.
