Abstract

The term early-onset periodontitis (EOP) represents a collection of diseases diagnosed in children, adolescents and young adults. These disorders are aetiologically and clinically heterogeneous. They have a low frequency in the general population but when they do occur can result in rapid destruction of periodontal support. Without treatment tooth loss often ensues.
