Two forms of perio disease in children
Prepubertal periodontitis Juvenile periodontitis
Any perio disease in children due to
Immune dysfunction Systemic cause
Perio seen in children are:
Aggressive

Most commonly puberty related gingivitis


Perio in children have much lower prevalence of destructiveness than adults

Gingival conditions without loss of CT attachment
Chronic gingivitis

Plaque-induced chronic gingivitis (most prevalent)


Steroid hormone related gingivitis


Drug-influenced gingival overgrowth (Phenytoin, cyclosporine, nifedipine)

Treatment of Gingival Conditions:
OHI, scaling, polishing, gingivectomy consider consulting GP to switch meds
Systemic Disease Related Gingivitis Treatment?
Meticulous plaque control and eradication of periodontal pathogens
Acute gingivitis include:
Primary Herpetic gingivostomatitis (contagious) Necrotising ulcerative gingivitis
Clinical Presentations + txt of Herpetic Gingivostmatitis?
Viral with primary/recurrent vesicular lesions and inflammation of gingiva

Treatment - Symptomatic - Rest and soft diet, paracetamol suspension, acyclovir

Clinical Presentations + txt of Necrotising ulcerative gingivitis?
Painful gingivitis with interproximal and marginal necrosis with yellow-grey ulceration. Well established predisposing factors.

Treatment - Intense oral hygiene with mechanical debridement. Frequent rinsing with 0.2% chlorhexidine solution is recommended Remove predisposing factors

Mucogingival problems involve:
Gingival recession

Local trauma


Post- orthodontics




Conservative treatment approach

Periodontal conditions with loss of CT attachment
Aggressive periodontitis or (GAP) Generalized aggressive periodontitis

Chronic Periodontitis


Perio as manifestatiosn of sysmteic diseases

Describe GAP:
Principally affects young patients

Rapid Rate of progression


Perio around 3+ perm teeth

Describe LAP:
Localized aggressive perio

Diagnosed if perio only at: Interproximal areas + Perm first molars/Incisors

Describe Chronic periodontitis
More prevalent in adults

Slow to moderate rates of progression

What are some systemic diseases that may present with periodontitis
Neutropenia

Leukaemia


Down syndrome




Due to a defective immune system giving higher chance of perio
