Which form of periodontitis has been excluded from the new classification?

  1. Periodontitis

  2. Necrotizing periodontal disease

  3. Localized aggressive periodontitis

  4. Periodontitis as a direct manifestation of systemic disease

The correct answer is: Localized aggressive periodontitis

The new classification system for periodontal disease has excluded the term "localized aggressive periodontitis" and instead uses a new term, "localized periodontitis." This is because the term "aggressive" implies that the disease progresses more rapidly, while in reality, the rate of progression can vary among individuals. As for the other options, periodontitis and necrotizing periodontal disease are both still included in the new classification, and periodontitis as a direct manifestation of systemic disease is now referred to as "periodontitis associated with systemic diseases." Therefore, these options are incorrect.
