Abstract : [Abstract] Gingival inflammation is characterized by the infiltration of blood mononuclear cells, especially B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes, into sites of bacterial injury. A differential expression of adhesion molecules may play a role in lymphocytes trafficking in these tissues. Periodontal diseases are mediated by complex host and parasite interaction, that leads to the loss of connective tissues attachment to root surface cementum and adjacent alveolar bone. Diseases known to be associated with periodontitis before puberty include Papillon-Lefevre syndrome, hypophosphatasia, neutropenias, leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD), Chediak-Higashi syndrome, Down's syndrome, leukemia, histiocytosis X, early onset Type I diabetes, and acrodynia. LAD constitutes a combination of cell surface receptor defects on polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNLs), monocytes, lymphocytes, and macrophages. This short review focuses on severe periodontal disease associated with LAD.
