Abstract
Presented in this report is a case of generalized chronic periodontal patient; the patient’s periodontitis was diagnosed as a result of occlusal trauma and the posterior bite collapse was predicted if left untreated. In order to alleviate inflammation and inflammatory factors and stabilize the occlusion (by provision of adequate anterior guidance and posterior occlusal support), initial periodontal treatment, periodontal regenerative treatment, orthodontic treatment, and implant treatment were performed as part of the comprehensive treatment. As to stabilize the occlusion, properly fabricated provisional restoration was employed before the final restoration was set. Confirming that the symptom of periodontal disease subsided, the treatment was switched to supportive periodontal therapy. The periodontal condition is stable at the 6 year follow-up.
