Periodontal therapy for stage Ⅳ grade C generalized periodontitis: A case report of 7-year follow-up / 口腔医学

ABSTRACT

@#Periodontal disease is individual-specific and site-specific. Therefore, the periodontal sequence treatment plan should not only base on the patient's condition and disease progression, but also take local conditions into account. This paper reports the whole periodontal therapy of a young patient with stage Ⅳ grade C generalized periodontitis with longitude observation of 7 years. We analyze the factors between extraction and maintenance of hopeless teeth from individual-specific and site-specific perspectives. We also discuss the importance of keratinized mucosa around implants in order to provide reference for the treatment of periodontitis.
