Popis:	PERIODONTOSIS was first described by Gottlieb in 1920. Since this time, the number of recorded cases with complete medical history and histologic findings are extremely few in number. 2 , 3 In addition, the term "periodontosis" is itself a very controversial term, as there are some investigators who do not believe in the existence of such a diseased entity. To us, periodontosis means advanced alveolar bone loss about one or more of the permanent teeth in an otherwise normal, healthy adolescent. Our criteria for a "normal healthy adolescent" is one who has been given a routine physical examination by a physician and shown to be without any apparent systemic disease. The physical examination should include as a minimal requirement, a chest plate and the following laboratory tests: complete and differential white blood counts, urinalysis, sedimentation rate, hemoglobin and hematocrit.
