A brief review of the literature regarding the recognition, causes, and different therapeutic approaches of periodontosis was presented. Two cases of periodontosis in the early stages were reported, and a successful treatment plan using modalities similar to those used for other forms of periodontitis was described. Early diagnosis of the condition was critical to the success of both cases. Both patients were taught good oral hygiene, which, along with scaling, root planning, and conservative periodontal surgery, not only resulted in arresting the disease process, but also encouraged osseous regeneration. These examples emphasize the necessity of routine periodontal examinations for all children, especially at the circumpubertal period because periodontosis is often passed unnoticed until there has been massive periodontal destruction. The management of the advanced conditions is more challenging and seldom successful.
本文简要回顾了有关牙周变性的识别、病因及不同治疗方法的文献。报告了两例早期牙周变性病例，并描述了一个使用与其他形式牙周炎相似治疗方式的成功治疗方案。该病的早期诊断对两例病例的成功治疗至关重要。对两名患者都教授了良好的口腔卫生知识，这与龈上洁治、根面平整及保守性牙周手术一起，不仅阻止了疾病进程，还促进了骨再生。这些例子强调了对所有儿童进行常规牙周检查的必要性，尤其是在青春发育期前后，因为牙周变性在出现大量牙周破坏之前常常未被察觉。晚期病情的处理更具挑战性且很少成功。
