Inconsistent plaque levels compared to disease severity, elevated levels of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomi- tans (AA) and Porphyromonas gingivalis (PG) in some population, phagocyte abnormalities, hyper‐responsive macrophage phenotype, elevated prostaglandin (PG)‐E2, interleukin (IL)‐1 beta in response to bacterial endotoxins, and self-arresting progression of attachment and bone loss.

Aggressive periodontitis can be classified into localised aggressive perio­ dontitis (LAP) and generalised aggressive periodontitis (GAP).
