The sample in the present study comprised 36 patients who were referred for treatment of periodontal disease. Twenty-four of them were early onset periodontitis (EOP) patients and 12 were adult periodontitis (AP) patients. Based upon the age, number of involved teeth and the location of diseased sites, the EOP patients were divided into two groups as juvenile periodontitis (JP) and rapidly progressive periodontitis (RPP). All the patients were individually examined both clinically and radiographically. At a baseline examination and 3 months after active therapy, the patients were evaluated for plaque, gingivitis, probing depths and probing attachment levels. Following instruction in proper oral hygiene measures, all of the patients were subjected to periodontal treatment. Treatment comprised scaling and root-planing, occlusal adjustment, tetracycline administration and periodontal surgery with osteoplasty. Results showed that age limits between JP and RPP cannot be drawn with certainty. The mean age for the JP group was 21.83 years and was 30.58 years for the RPP group. The number of involved teeth was found to increase with age. The first molars were the most frequently affected teeth followed by the incisors. Three months after active treatment, the response of periodontal tissues to therapy both in EOP and AP groups was almost identical.
本研究中的样本包括36名因牙周疾病前来接受治疗的患者。其中24名是早发性牙周炎（EOP）患者，12名是成人牙周炎（AP）患者。根据年龄、患牙数量和病变部位的位置，EOP患者被分为青少年牙周炎（JP）和快速进展性牙周炎（RPP）两组。所有患者均接受了临床和影像学检查。在基线检查时以及积极治疗3个月后，对患者的菌斑、牙龈炎、探诊深度和探诊附着水平进行了评估。在接受适当的口腔卫生措施指导后，所有患者均接受了牙周治疗。治疗包括龈上洁治和根面平整、咬合调整、四环素给药以及骨成形术的牙周手术。结果表明，无法确定JP和RPP之间的年龄界限。JP组的平均年龄为21.83岁，RPP组为30.58岁。发现患牙数量随年龄增加。第一磨牙是最常受影响的牙齿，其次是切牙。积极治疗3个月后，EOP组和AP组的牙周组织对治疗的反应几乎相同。
