“…Colonization of the oral cavity by many putative periodontopathogens can occur quite early in childhood without clinical signs of periodontal disease (Delaney and Kornman, 1987;Frisken et al, 1987;Sweeney et al, 1987;Conrads et al, 1996). Recently, investigators have determined the prevalence of 10 oral organisms, including T. forsythensis, in children who showed negligible periodontal inflammation, in an attempt to delineate the prevalence and distribution of these pathogens in a 'healthy' population (Kimura et al, 2002).…”

Colonization with Tannerella forsythensis may characterize the conversion of periodontally healthy sites into diseased sites. This three-year study describes the prevalence of T. forsythensis and its relationship to clinical loss of attachment (LOA) in a group of adolescents considered at risk of developing early chronic periodontitis. Adolescents with (LOA+) and without (LOA-) loss of attachment were examined at baseline and 1.5 and 3 yrs subsequently. On each occasion, attachment loss was measured on selected teeth, and the presence of T. forsythensis in their subgingival plaque samples was determined by PCR. T. forsythensis prevalence in LOA+ subjects at baseline (64%) increased to 82% and 86% on subsequent examinations. In contrast, prevalence of T. forsythensis in LOA- subjects was always significantly lower (25%, 36%, and 32%, respectively). The odds of loss of attachment were 8.16 times greater in subjects infected with T. forsythensis at each examination. These results suggest that T. forsythensis is strongly associated with loss of attachment in this adolescent population.

“…Sjodin and Matsson [22] could not demonstrate any association between age and CEJ-ABC distance in 7-9 years age group and they related this to the narrow age interval of the children in their study. Al Jamal, et al [20] in his study showed that CEJ-ABC distance was not different among the four age groups (6,7,8,9 years) in a study conducted on 539 children.…”

“…Sweeney, et al [8] found a prevalence of marginal bone loss of 0.8% in primary teeth of 5-11 year old children. Another study conducted by Ahmadi et al on primary molars showed 7.7% of the total examined surfaces had distances of greater than 2mm indicating the prevalence of alveolar bone loss.…”

Background: Recent studies have indicated that aggressive periodontitis in the permanent dentition of adolescents often is preceded by bone loss in the primary and mixed dentition. Hence it is necessary to detectand treat these patients for preventing the transition of the disease from primary to permanent dentition. Aims and Objectives: The aim of this study was to radiographically determine the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) to alveolar bone crest (ABC) distance in the interproximal areas of permanent molars and central incisors during the mixed dentition period.

“…However, since they do occur in mixed anaerobic infections, e.g. odontogenic abscesses and prepubertal periodontitis [29,31], there is reason to believe that P. gingivalis is present in low numbers, or at least occurs frequently in the transient flora of the child. One reason for the low prevalence of P. gingivalis as well as other fastidious bacteria before puberty is the lack of necessary or stimulating nutritive factors such as haemin, menadione, growth-stimulating proteins and hormones, which become accessible at puberty due to change in hormone levels and to full eruption of the complete dentition [32].…”

Black‐pigmented Gram‐negative anaerobes have been associated with periodontal disease and tooth loss since they were first isolated by Burdon in 1928. Porphyromonas gingivalis, which is usually not isolated from children, adolescents or adults with no periodontal breakdown, has been recognized as one of the most important periodontopathogens. Its presence is strongly correlated with deep periodontal pockets, which are assumed to be its main habitat. Correlations have been shown also with attachment loss, clinical inflammation and serum antibody levels, indicating an aetiological role in the periodontal disease. Their pathogenicity in animal models resembling periodontal disease is documented. They are frequently isolated from periodontal abscesses. The relationship between Prevotella intermedia and periodontal disease is not clear. It is frequently isolated from advanced periodontitis, often as the only black‐pigmented Gram‐negative anaerobic species; however, the prevalence in adults with no periodontal breakdown is high. It is found frequently in periodontal abscesses and in acute necrotizing and ulcerative gingivitis. Serogroup I is found predominantly in deep periodontal pockets, whereas all serogroups (I–III) are found in shallow pockets and gingivitis. No conclusive difference in pathogenicity between serogroups has been found. Pr. melaninogenica, Pr. denticola and Pr. loescheii are frequently found in the gingival crevice in preschool children and other age groups with gingivitis, but are seldom found in deep periodontal pockets.
