  • Title: [Function of polynuclear neutrophils in patients with juvenile periodontitis and rapidly progressing periodontitis].
    Author: Mattout C, Mege JL, Mattout P, Fourel J, Monnet V.
    Journal: J Parodontol; 1990 May; 9(2):189-93. PubMed ID: 2170620.
    Abstract:
    It is generally assumed that early onset forms of periodontal disease (including Juvenile and Rapidly Progressive Periodontitis) are associated with a defect in neutrophil behaviour. We have investigated neutrophil functions in patients with Juvenile (J.P.) and Rapidly Progressive Periodontitis (R.P.P.). In the group of J.P. patients the directed mobility (FMLP and zymosan activated plasma) is significantly decreased. The superoxide generation in response to FMLP decreases while the PMA response is normal. In the group of R.P.P. patients no significant abnormality has been reported.
