Abstract

SALINAS M, Yuni J  and  MILLAN I, Ronald E. Necrotizing periodontal disease: Dental behavior. Acta odontol. venez [online]. 2009, vol.47, n.4, pp.234-248. ISSN 0001-6365.

The premise is that periodontal problems are treated by general dentists and they should  not skip the responsibility to treat all of their patients. The excessive incidence of periodontal problems in the population makes it difficult to treat them by a specific number of specialists. There is a variety of diseases from various infectious etiology that take place in the mouth, it is essential that  dentists  know  the importance of diagnosing,  and also be aware of the consequences if they are not treated on time. The term necrotizing periodontal disease is used as common denominator of gingivitis, periodontal and necrotizing estomatitis, which are a group of dangerous, inflammatory and destructive diseases that affect mainly the marginal gum like the papilar and less frequently the adhesive gum affecting the alveolar bone. They can be found in healthy mouths or additional to a periodontal or gingival disease, in a tooth or in a group of them, or in the whole mouth or in individuals with  good or poor mouth hygiene. It is not usual to find them as edentulous but sometimes isolated spheric injuries in the soft palate. The purpose of this report is to describe the different clinic presentation, etiology and pathogenesis, epidemiology diagnose, differentials, treatment, prognosis, complications and post surgery care. That’s why a revision of the national and international literature was made based upon on documentary descriptive research techniques

Keywords : necrotizing ulcerative periodontal disease; necrotizing periodontal disease.
