Maintenance after a Complex Ortho- Perio Treatment in a Case of Generalized Aggressive Periodontitis: 7-Year Result

Background: Generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAgP) encompasses a distinct type of periodontal disease exhibiting much more rapid periodontal tissue destruction than chronic periodontitis. The best method for management of GAgP may include the use of both regenerative periodontal techniques and the administration of systemic antibiotics.

The Severity, Extent and Recurrence of Necrotizing Periodontal Disease in Relation to HIV Status and CD4+ T CELL Count

South Africa ranks among the three countries with the highest prevalence of HIV infection in sub-Saharan Africa, with an estimated 29.5% of women attending antenatal clinics being infected. Necrotizing periodontal disease is a well recognized HIV-associated oral condition. The objective of this investigation was to determine a possible correlation between the extent, severity and treatment outcome of necrotizing periodontal disease in relation to a person’s HIV status and CD4+ T cell...
