Abstract
If not only controlling progression of disease but also restoration of damaged or lost tissues was possible, periodontal treatment would come close to its ideal. Presented here is a case of 56 year-old female patient with a chief complaint of swollen gums in the upper right region. Probing depth was greater than 6mm at multiple sites, and the patient was diagnosed with generalized moderate-severe chronic periodontitis. For the vertical bone loss at 3 2 and 7 , after thorough basic periodontal treatment, various methods such as natural movement of teeth, enamel matrix derivative for periodontal tissue regeneration, and limited orthodontic treatment were employed to achieve long term stability. X-ray examination at 3 year follow up presented improved, stable periodontal tissues.
