Abstract

aggressive periodontitis is a severe and rapidly progressing form of periodontitis [1,2] that affecting supporting tissues of the teeth induced by microbial deposits [3]. Aggregatibacter actinimycetemcomitans is an important pathogen related to aggressively progressive periodontal breakdown in adolescents and adults [4,5]. A. actinomycetemcomitans (A.a.) can be grouped into seven serotypes (a-g) [6,7].
