Abstract
Generalized aggressive periodontitis is characterized by a rapid destruction of periodontal tissues, so that elimination of inflammatory factors and establishment of a stable occlusion are required from the very first phase of treatment. In this report, we present the case of a 40-year-old woman patient diagnosed as having aggressive periodontitis, who was treated by initial therapy, periodontal surgery and periodontal regeneration techniques, with the aim conserving the poor teeth for as long as possible and maintaining stable occlusion. In addition, root coverage techniques and prosthetic treatment were applied for root exposure and diastema of the anterior teeth. As a result, the periodontal tissues as well as the aesthetics were improved. The patient has shown a stable condition of the teeth and periodontal tissues for 10 years after her first visit.
