Abstract EN
The aim of the present epidemiological study was to estimate the prevalence of localized juvenile periodontitis in a group of secondary school students aged 12 – 19 years old in Ninevah Governorate.
A sample of 2845 students [1815 (63.8 %) males and 1030 (36.2 %) females] was collected from secondary schools in different areas of Ninevah Governorate.
The procedure used to identify juvenile periodontitis was carried out in two stages.
The first stage was screening the total students included in the study to identify possible positives.
The second stage consisted of a full clinical and radiographic examination.
Results of this study revealed that the percentage of juvenile periodontitis for the total sample was 0.1 %, for males the percentage was 0.11 %, while for females it was 0.09 %.
