Acute periodontal diseases are clinical conditions of rapid onset that involve the periodontium or associated structures and may be characterized by pain or discomfort and infection. They may or may not be related to gingivitis or periodontitis. They may be localized or generalized, with possible systemic manifestations. Aggressive periodontitis encompasses distinct types of periodontitis that affect people who, in most cases, otherwise appear healthy. It tends to have a familial aggregation and there is a rapid rate of disease progression.
Aggressive periodontitis occurs in localized and generalized forms.
A dental implant is a biomedical device usually composed of an inert metal or metallic alloy that is placed on or within the osseous tissues. The implant restoration consists of components that attach the prosthesis to the implant. Occlusal traumatism affects the supporting structures of the tooth or teeth. The lesion of trauma from occlusion may occur in conjunction with, or independent of, inflammatory periodontal diseases. Although trauma from occlusion and inflammatory periodontal disease may occur concurrently, each condition may be treated separately.
