Ten female early-onset periodontitis subjects (EOP), (mean age 24.9 + 7.1), and 10 female subjects with gingivitis or mucogingival problem (G), (mean age 24.7 + 5.1), were selected. General and periodontal conditions of all subjects were examined.

All subjects in both groups were of average build with non contributory medical history. Numbers of present teeth and rates of treated teeth were 28.0+0.7, 37.8 + 3.0% in EOP group and 27.9 + 1.0, 29.6 + 5.8% in G group as an average, respectively.
