Abstract
Localized juvenile periodontitis is a disease of the adolescent periodontium characterized by rapid alveolar destruction around molar and incisor teeth of the permanent dentition. Early treatment methods were variable and often empirical due to lack of knowledge concerning etiology. Elucidation of factors associated with the disease has led to different therapeutic approaches. A comprehensive review of these modalities is presented.Keywords
