Abstract

Juvenile periodontitis is a term used to include different types of periodontitis
affecting healthy young individuals. This entity affects persons on the second
decade of life, and it has been divided into 2 forms: the localized and the generalized. The case of a 13-year-old black female student of choral singing, who
had been under orthodontia treatment for a year and a half, and that after having
the fixed appliances abandoned the follow-up, was presented. On the physical
examination, it was detected a lesion of the marginal and papillary distribution with
loss of gingival morphology, hardelastic consistency, fibroedematous aspect and
dark pink colour with isolated melanic stains, gingivorrhagia, pain and mobility in
the anterosuperior teeth, and in a less scale in the anteroinferior, periodontal
pockets of up to 8 mm, and horizontal and vertical bone losses localized in superior
and inferior incisors and in the first permanent molars, confirmed in the X-rays. The
indicated treatment and the evolution of the case by imaging follow-up was
presented.
