Abstract:

We report a case of localized aggressive periodontitis (LAP), which precipitated during fixed orthodontic treatment in a 16 years old female African-American patient. Oral hygiene instructions, removal of orthodontic bands and non-surgical periodontal therapy was followed by surgical treatment of multiple sites, using calcium sulfate as a synthetic bone graft material and collagen membrane as a barrier, to achieve guided tissue regeneration. One year follow up of the case demonstrates that use of calcium sulfate as a synthetic bone substitute may provide favorable outcome in LAP patients. Furthermore, LAP patients undergoing orthodontic treatment can be successfully managed without tooth morbidity.
