The objective of this review is to bring the reader up-to-date on the current understanding of chronic and aggressive forms of periodontitis and the implications for diagnosis and treatment of these diseases. The only difference between chronic periodontitis and aggressive periodontitis with regard to tissue destruction appear to be perhaps the magnitude, sequelae, and control of the response. While there may be some differences in the cellular infiltrate between these two diseases, the molecular mediators and pathologic processes are generally the same.
本综述的目的是使读者了解目前对慢性和侵袭性牙周炎的认识，以及这些疾病在诊断和治疗方面的意义。慢性牙周炎和侵袭性牙周炎在组织破坏方面的唯一区别可能在于反应的程度、后遗症和控制情况。虽然这两种疾病在细胞浸润方面可能存在一些差异，但分子介质和病理过程通常是相同的。
