Summary: Periodontal diseases are one of the main causes of morbidity in adults, this being the main cause of loss of dental organs along with caries. However, and despite the vast literature on this pathology, little information on periodontal disease in children has been described. Biological, immunological, microbiological and even methodological aspects have prevented carrying out projects related to periodontal disease in individuals under 12 years of age, which is why this study will focus on describing by collecting data in English, Spanish and Portuguese of various scientific bases the periodontal status of this population group in particular.
