Enfermedad periodontal necrosante

Acute periodontal diseases are rapid onset clinical conditions that involve the periodontium or associated structures and are characterized by pain or discomfort, tissue destruction and infection. In contrast to most other periodontal conditions, they can cause rapid destruction of periodontal tissues, thus emphasizing the importance of rapid diagnosis and treatment. Among these conditions, the following stand out necrotizing periodontal disease. According to the International Workshop for Classification of Periodontal Diseases and Conditions 2017 are two: Necrotizing gingivitis (NG) and Necrotizing periodontitis (NP). Necrotizing stomatitis (NE) is a more aggressive variation, which can be linked to the two entities mentioned. Necrotizing periodontal disease is an infection characterized by gingival necrosis, pain and gingival bleeding. It is considered to be an acute opportunistic gingival infection caused by dental biofilm. It appears more frequently in undernourished children and young with immunodeficiency. In its pathogenesis, there are factors related to the oral microbiota and factors associated with the host. Diagnosis is made by a clinical examination. The purpose of this study is to conduct a literature review of necrotizing periodontal disease. The clinical presentation, the course and the response to EPN therapy are specific among other periodontal diseases, so the existence of a particular clinical disease category is supported.
