[Relation between functional-immunological and clinical parameters in juvenile periodontal diseases].

Abstract

In 57 Moscow adolescents aged 15 to 19 years gingival bleeding and periodontal pocketing was recorded. In addition to this functional parameters of Rheoperiodontography and Polarography were documented and immunological investigations were carried out. The clinical parameters of the test group showed a higher level of periodontal diseases compared with a random selected control group. A correlation between clinical and functional parameters in early periodontal destruction was not detected. This study demonstrates the importance of prevention of periodontal diseases in adolescents.
