| Popis: | Periodontitis results in loss of periodontal attachment. This case report focuses on diagnosing a special case of periodontitis that required extreme care and maintenance. The peculiarities of this case are that based on 1999 American Academy of Periodontology classification this is a case of generalized aggressive periodontitis, but as per the recent 2017 classification, this is a case of periodontitis – generalized, Stage IV, Grade B, progressive and with no risk factors. Although this case is ideal for surgical management using regenerative techniques, it has been limited to mechanical therapy and laser due to patient-related economical factors. Within the limitations, this case has been successfully managed by dental laser and strategic implants. Despite all the limitations, 1-year follow-up shows periodontal stability and bone regeneration as evidenced through series of panoramic radiographs (OPG). |
