Abstract :
*is case report exhibits a patient with generalized aggressive periodontitis who has been under maintenance for the past 12 years
after being surgically treated in a single sitting and restored with dental implants. A 41-year-old systemically healthy male patient
presented complaining of lower anterior teeth mobility and pain in the upper right quadrant. After clinical and radiographic
examination, the upper right molars and lower anterior incisors were deemed unrestorable. Covered by doxycycline, the patient
received a nonsurgical periodontal treatment. *ree weeks later, teeth extraction, immediate implant placement, immediate
nonloading provisional prosthesis, and a guided tissue regeneration were performed at indicated areas in a single sitting. *e
clinical decisions were based on patient compliance, the status of the existing periodontal tissues, and the prognosis of the
remaining teeth. During the 12-year follow-up period, no residual pockets were observed and there was no exacerbation of the
inflammatory condition. Marginal bone stability is present on all implants. For aggressive periodontal disease, a high risk of
relapse as well as limited success and survival of dental implants should be considered. *is case shows proper containment of the
disease based on appropriate treatment planning and a strict maintenance program.
