“…In the present study, AP was not specified in its localized and generalized forms. This can result in a possible inclusion of what has been defined as the "incidental disease" [9] [10]. However, Open Journal of Stomatology the recent result was approximately similar to those found in Brazil in subjects aged between 12 and 29 years old [18].…”

“…But a study by Albandar et al [9] in Uganda among 12 -25 years old of the patients found a high prevalence of 28.8% of early-onset periodontitis. Thus, the prevalence in Africa appears therefore to be high.…”

“…The absence of treatment in both forms can lead to the tooth loss and the treatment of patients with advanced disease is challenging [9]. Some studies reported a negative impact of periodontitis on the quality of life [11] [12].…”

“…It varies between 0.1% and 0.2% in Europe [5] [6], 0.13% in Iran population aged 15 to 18 years [7], 0.6% in Turkey among young people aged 13 to 19 years [8]. Studies in the United States of America attributed high prevalence of AP to the populations of Hispanic and African origins and to the socio-economic level [9] [10].…”

Periodontitis is a prevalent destructive gum disease, characterized by loss of tissues supporting the teeth. The two main forms, chronic and aggressive have not been assessed in Kinshasa, DR Congo. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the Prevalence and the pattern of chronic periodontitis (CP) and aggressive periodontitis (AP) in order to improve its management. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study of 404 subjects attending the dental services of the four hospitals of Kinshasa city, from October 2013 to April 2014 was carried out. The plaque index (PlI), bleeding on probing (BOP), probing pocket depth (PPD) and frequency of tooth brushing (FTB) were the parameters assessed. The SPSS software version 20.0 was used. Results: Out of 404 patients examined, 322 (79.7%) had chronic periodontitis versus to 44 (10.9%) of aggressive periodontitis. The female was higher than males with a sex ratio of 1.49:1 and the age group between 20 and 29 was the most represented. PPP of ≥6 mm was found in 24.6%, 5 or 5.5 mm in 27.3% and PPP of 3.5 to 4.5 mm in 48.1% of patients with periodontitis. Significant difference was found between CP and AP according to age variable, p-value < 0.001. PlI for CP was 0.97 (SD ± 0.38) while that for AP was 0.90 (SD ± 0.43). No significant differences were found between PlI, p-value = 0.47; FTB (p = 0.055) and BOP of subjects with AP and those with CP (p = 0.105). Conclusion: The two main forms of periodontitis diseases are more prevalent in patients attending dental services in Kinshasa and affect male as well as female. Age remains an essential variable to distinguish between CP and AP.

“…Mwokorie and Arowojolu found a prevalence of 1.6% in a population group whose age ranged from 17 to 34 in a Nigerian hospital (25) . Albandar et al reported high prevalence levels of aggressive periodontitis among Ugandan students aged 12-25; of which 6.5% showed generalized or localized aggressive periodontitis; and 22% showed incidental aggressive lesions (26) . Hodge et al suggested that genetic factors are more significant than history of smoking in the manifestation of generalized aggressive periodontitis (27) .…”

Aggressive periodontitis is a low-prevalence, multifactorial disease, of rapid progression and with no systemic compromise. It presents immunological alterations, a strong genetic influence, familial aggregation and early onset. It can be localized or generalized. It is not clear whether it is an independent periodontal disease, or if it is the phenotypic expression of chronic periodontitis in susceptible patients. Its diagnostic protocol includes a dental medical history, a clinical periodontal examination and a radiological examination. Treatment usually includes improving oral hygiene, dental scaling and root planing, as well as systemic and local antibiotic therapy. Surgical therapy will depend on each individual case. Maintenance therapy is essential to achieve better results. The aim of this paper is to review diagnostic and therapeutic protocols, and to propose a treatment flowchart based on the latest scientific evidence.
