Knowledge of the risk indicators of aggressive periodontitis (AgP) will help clinicians to better diagnose the disease, put a treatment plan that involves modification of modifiable risk indicators, understand non-modifiable risk indicators, and may potentially serve as an aid in developing preventive programs. The objective of the present study was to assess risk indicators of aggressive periodontitis (AgP) in Jordan including socio-demographic factors, oral hygiene habits, smoking, family history and parents' consanguinity.
A total of 162 patients (81 AgP and 81 controls), attending the Periodontology clinic at Jordan University of Science and Technology, Dental Teaching Centre, were interviewed and examined. All AgP subjects had full periodontal and radiographic examination. The data recorded included socio-demographic and economic variables, oral hygiene and smoking habits, family history and parents' consanguinity.
Most AgP patients were young females, had ≤12 years of education, lived in urban areas and brushed their teeth ≥ once daily. Risk indicators of AgP included: age > 35 years, female gender and positive family history.
Risk indicators associated with AgP in this study population were: age > 35 years, female gender and positive family history of periodontal disease.
了解侵袭性牙周炎（AgP）的风险指标有助于临床医生更好地诊断疾病，制定涉及可改变风险指标的治疗计划，了解不可改变的风险指标，并可能有助于制定预防计划。本研究的目的是评估约旦侵袭性牙周炎（AgP）的风险指标，包括社会人口因素、口腔卫生习惯、吸烟、家族史和父母近亲结婚。
共对 162 名患者（81 名 AgP 和 81 名对照组）进行了访谈和检查，他们均在约旦科技大学牙科教学中心的牙周病诊所就诊。所有 AgP 患者均进行了全面的牙周和放射学检查。记录的数据包括社会人口和经济变量、口腔卫生和吸烟习惯、家族史和父母近亲结婚。
大多数 AgP 患者为年轻女性，受教育程度≤12 年，居住在城市地区，每天刷牙≥一次。AgP 的风险指标包括：年龄>35 岁、女性和牙周病阳性家族史。
在本研究人群中，与 AgP 相关的风险指标为：年龄>35 岁、女性和牙周病阳性家族史。
