Aggressive periodontitis (AgP) comprises a group of rare, often severe, rapidly progressive forms of periodontitis which is characterized by an early age of clinical manifestations. It usually affects people under 30 years of age. Microbiota associated are Aggregatibacter, Actinomycetemcomitans and Porphyromonasgingivalis. The presence of highly pathogenic bacteria, severe periodontal bone destruction and the refractory nature of this disease tends to deter the clinician from placing implants in these patients. This article represents case series of patients with generalized aggressive periodontitits (GAP) rehabilitated prosthetically with successful 2 years follow-up.Key Words : Aggressive periodontitis, preservation, cast partial denture
