Periodontal disease
Periodontal disease
Globally, most children have signs of gingivitis and, among adults, the initial stages of periodontal diseases are prevalent. Severe periodontitis, which may result in tooth loss, is found in 5-15% of most populations. Juvenile or early-onset aggressive periodontitis, a severe periodontal condition affecting individuals during puberty that leads to premature tooth loss, affects about 2% of youth.
