Aggressive periodontitis is
characterized by a rapid destruction of periodontal tissues and bone
loss, which is often associated with specific bacterial pathogens,
particularly Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. However,
the primary etiological factor is a reduced or altered immune
response of the host, which makes individuals more susceptible to
these bacteria and the resulting tissue destruction. Plaque
accumulation is a factor in all periodontitis but not the primary
distinguishing factor for the aggressive form.

These enzymes contribute to the breakdown of the extracellular matrix, which is significant in periodontal disease progression.
