Abstract
The basic aim of periodontal therapy is to eliminate the basic etiological agent responsible for the disease. A treatment is basically divided into nonsurgical and surgical periodontal therapy. Nonsurgical periodontal therapy remains an integral part of periodontal treatment. In most of the periodontitis cases, an improvement in the clinical signs and symptoms of disease can be seen by simply performing scaling, root planing, and thorough periodontal debridement. A 45-year-old female patient reported to Department of Periodontology complaining of gingival bleeding, pus discharge, halitosis, and gingival enlargement in the anterior region of the jaw. The patient noticed the problems 1 year back which was gradually increasing in severity. The patient was medical fit. In this case, a complete elimination of severe periodontal disease was achieved by scaling and root planing with a frequent maintenance visit without any surgical intervention in the patient.
