title: A review of localized juvenile periodontitis (LJP): II. Clinical trials and treatment guidelines.
abstract: Localized juvenile periodontitis (LJP) causes severe alveolar bone loss and early tooth loss in adolescents and young adults. If it is not appropriately treated as an infection in association with Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, treatment failure is likely. This review of clinical trials of treatment of LJP uses those trials to construct guidelines for LJP treatment.
