Abstract
Periodontitis is currently defined as a multifactorial chronic
inflammatory disease associated with deregulation of the biofilm with the susceptible host,
which can lead to damage the periodontal tissue due to an inappropriate immune response,
characterized by a neutrophilic inflammation with subsequent destruction of proteolytic
connective tissue. Nowadays, there are arguments that associate the progression of this
disease in elderly people, for this reason the objective of this article is to carry out a
literature review that links the progression of periodontitis associated with age, in
addition to determining if at an older age there is higher prevalence of periodontitis.
