Analysis in adolescent students with periodontal disease.

Abstract

The main objective of this work is to analyze the presence of periodontal disease in adolescents and its severity, one of the most frequent problems in the oral cavity due to lack of oral hygiene. Ways to improve this condition with proper brushing are proposed. The bibliographic review method was used, searching for information in virtual libraries, giving as a result that periodontal disease is closely related to bad oral hygiene habits. It is concluded that the best way to prevent periodontal disease is to increase educational programs that teach adolescents the correct way to perform their oral hygiene and that they have the necessary knowledge about this condition.
