Alveolar Bone gain in Vertical Bone Defect with Nonsurgical Periodontal Therapy in the Anterior Zone of Maxilla: A Case Report

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Nonsurgical periodontal therapy, including scaling and root planing, is a fundamental approach for managing plaque induced periodontal diseases. This case report demonstrates a successful treatment of a vertical bone defect on tooth 21 through nonsurgical methods alone. Over two years, a significant reduction in probing depth, clinical attachment level gain, and alveolar bone gain were observed. The findings suggest that nonsurgical periodontal therapy can lead to measurable alveolar bone gain, contrary to conventional expectations. Further studies are needed to confirm these outcomes in similar cases.
