Research Abstract	Werner Syndrome is typical of the accelerated aging disease. If these patients have severer periodontal conditions, it can be speculated that any factor to aging may also accelerate periodontal disease. The observations indicated that periodontal conditions of these patients were as good as those of Non-Werner Syndrome patients. Therefore, it can be concluded that severe destruction of periodontal tissues in the aged attributed to chronic destruction of tissues rather than aging.
