Abstract

Periodontal defects in adolescents or young adults are often an incidental finding within the framework of orthodontic treatment. Often these patients are suffering from a special form of periodontal disease, juvenile periodontitis. Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) offers a technique for long-term therapy in such cases. In the case presented here, the periodontal problems were aggravated by malpositioning of the affected teeth. Orthodontic and periodontal treatment enabled the malpositioning to be corrected and the osseous defects to be largely regenerated. Controls on regular bases up to now revealed a stable status over 2 years.
