Aggressive periodontitis is now referred to as "early-onset periodontitis". It is a type of periodontal (gum) disease that affects people at a young age, and it is characterized by rapid and severe destruction of gums and supporting bone.
Symptoms of Early-Onset Periodontitis
Early-onset periodontitis is associated with several symptoms, including red, swollen, and tender gums; receding gums; bad breath; loose teeth; and tooth sensitivity.
Causes of Early-Onset Periodontitis
The exact cause of early-onset periodontitis is not known, but it is believed to be caused by a combination of lifestyle, environment, genetics, and other factors.
Treatment of Early-Onset Periodontitis
Treatment of early-onset periodontitis usually involves a combination of mechanical and chemical treatments, such as scaling and root planing, antibiotics, and other medications. In some cases, surgery may be necessary.

Aggressive periodontitis is now referred to as Early-Onset Periodontitis (EOP). This type of periodontitis is characterized by the rapid destruction of the supporting tissues around the teeth, resulting in the rapid loss of attachment and bone. It is most common in adolescents and young adults, and is caused by the presence of certain bacterial pathogens. Treatment for EOP includes a thorough scaling and root planing, as well as systemic antibiotics and adjunctive therapies to control the infection. In addition, a thorough oral hygiene regimen must be followed to prevent further damage and destruction of the periodontal tissues.

Aggressive periodontitis is now referred to as early-onset periodontitis. It is a severe form of periodontal disease that affects younger individuals, typically under the age of 30. Early-onset periodontitis causes rapid and severe destruction of the supporting structures of the teeth, including the gums, alveolar bone, and periodontal ligament. It can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Treatment consists of scaling and root planing, as well as ongoing maintenance and supportive care. In addition, systemic antibiotics may be prescribed to reduce the inflammation and limit further destruction of the periodontal tissues.

Aggressive periodontitis, a form of periodontal disease, is now referred to as rapidly progressing periodontitis. It is an uncommon form of periodontal disease that is characterized by rapid attachment and bone loss. It is often associated with family history, and commonly affects those under the age of 35.
Unlike other forms of periodontal disease, aggressive periodontitis is not caused by poor oral hygiene. Instead, it is caused by specific bacteria that are resistant to the body's immune system. These bacteria cause inflammation of the periodontal tissues, leading to rapid destruction of the gums, ligaments, and bone that supports the teeth. This destruction can result in tooth loss and other oral health problems.
Treatment for rapidly progressing periodontitis is usually aggressive and often includes a combination of antibiotics, scaling and root planing, and periodontal surgery. In some cases, laser treatment may also be used to help reduce inflammation. Regular dental visits and good oral hygiene habits are also important for managing and preventing the disease.
Ultimately, rapidly progressing periodontitis is a serious condition that can cause irreversible damage to the teeth, gums, and surrounding tissues. Prompt diagnosis and aggressive treatment are essential to slow the progression of the disease and prevent further damage.

Question: What is aggressive periodontitis now called?
Answer: Aggressive periodontitis is now referred to as localized aggressive periodontitis (LAP) or generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAP). It is a form of periodontal disease that is characterized by rapid destruction of the periodontal tissues, including the gums, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone. It is caused by an aggressive form of bacteria, which can spread quickly to other areas of the mouth and cause severe damage in a short period of time. Treatment for aggressive periodontitis includes scaling and root planing, as well as medications to reduce inflammation and pain.

Query: What is aggressive periodontitis now called?
Answer: Aggressive periodontitis is now referred to as "aggressive periodontal disease." The term was changed to reflect the fact that the condition is caused by a bacterial infection that affects the supporting structures of the teeth and can be treated with proper care.
