Abstract

There are many studies have documented that the efficacy of nonsurgical periodontal therapy in treating the progressive destruction of periodontal tissues [1,2]. In addition, it was also documented the most favorable modality of basic periodontal therapy is the complete removal of all microbial dental plaques on the root surfaces exposed by advanced periodontal disease [3-5]. There are many investigators documented that the ultrasonic scaling in periodontal phases I and phases IV therapies most commonly treated by the oral hygienists, followed by the active treatment by periodontists [6-9]. Our former reports also illustrated the clinically effective study of nonsurgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) by using ultrasonic scaling along with regular and periodic recall visits for professional plaque control in the short-term [1,10], mid-term [11], and in case report over ten years [12]. Results showed that remarkable improvement of the periodontal condition in both moderately deep and severe advanced periodontitis (SAP) affected deep angular bony defects and secondary occlusal traumatism (SOT). The purpose of the present case report was to evaluate long-term therapeutic outcomes of periodontal bone regeneration using oral rehabilization of intentional replantation (IR), fixed prosthesis and perioprosthetic design of crown and sleeve-coping telescopic denture (CSCTD) for the treatment of a case of SAP affected SOT with deep periodontal angular bone loss.

Case Report 

A 56-year old female presented at our office seeking treatment for tooth #11 with primary complaints of recurrent gingival swelling, bleeding with pus discharge. She had visited some local dental clinics for treating above mentioned symptoms and signs, and been told that tooth #11 should be extracted, and dental implant therapy was suggested. However, she rejected those treatment plans and showed strong to keep the tooth# 11.

Oral examination showed that moderate gingival recession was generally found on the maxillary teeth from teeth #13, #12, #11,
 #21, #23-#25, #27, and on the mandibular teeth from #37, #46, and #47, respectively. In addition, ill fitted, poor esthetic design, anterior deep bite and bad occlusion problems were found at the maxillary and mandibular arches. Assessments of periodontal parameters of the remained teeth included gingival index (GI) [13], plaque index (PlI) [14], probing pocket depth (PPD), and clinical attachment level (CAL), were recorded at baseline and every six months until the end of the study. Periapical radiographs disclosed generalized periodontal bone loss (PABL) with deep angular bony defects and SOT were noted around both teeth #12, #11, #23, #24, and #27 of maxillary arch, and where those at teeth # 34, #37, #45, #47, #48 of mandibular arch, respectively (Figure 1). A diagnosis of generalized SAP with SOT was established.

Treatment plans including removal of ill-fitted and poor designed prosthesis first, and second were including basic periodontal therapies, fixed therapeutic provisional prosthesis (TPP) of full mouth, intentional replantation (IR) of tooth #11. Maxillary arch of teeth #12 to #23 was constructed as fixed prosthesis and teeth #13 and #24 were used as the inner crown abutments of perioprosthetic designs of CSCTD were proposed (Table 1). The patient was subjected to a meticulous plaque control program following subgingival scaling and root planning. Chlorhexidine gluconate (0.1%) was used for pocket irrigation at teeth with PPD≧4 mm following subgingival scaling and root planning. Subsequent recalls for pocket monitoring and reinforcement of oral hygiene were maintained every two weeks for six months. Next visit for postoperative examinations occurred every 6-8 weeks until the end of study. Table 1 described clinical parameters of case 2; including SOT, root resorption, mobility, ankylosis, and types of prosthesis design in teeth affected with periodontally hopeless prognosis before and after intentional replantation (IR).

SOT: secondary occlusal trauma; Y: yes; Imp: improved; N: no; FP: Fixed prosthesis; CSCTD: Crown and sleeve-coping telescopic denture; Both, FP and CSCTD; Case 17*, tooth #25 with symptoms of periapical lesion and sinus tract, but no SOT during permanent periodontal prosthesis. Survival rate of replanted teeth with hopeless prognosis.

Clinical evaluations on tooth #11 after IR revealed remarkable improvement in periodontal parameters and mobility in the first 18 months. The clinical mobility of tooth #11 was improved from Grade III at baseline to slight mobility only (< Grade I) after TPP application 2 years 4 months later (Figure 2). Figures 3 indicated the clinical picture after IR #11 on the labial (Figures 3a) and palatal views (Figures 3b). A permanent perioprosthetic design of CSCTD was constructed six months later. Radiographs illustrated remarkable bone fills around tooth #11 as compared to baseline (Figures 4a), 2 years 12 months (Figure 4b), and 5 years 10 months (Figures 4c), respectively. Figures 5a,5b showed upper fixed prosthesis of anterior teeth #12- #23 (Figure 5a) and CSCTD with teeth #17- #27 and #37- #47 (Figure 5b) after 5 years 10 months. Figures 6 indicated upper fixed prosthesis anterior teeth #13- #24 with inner crown abutments of #13 and #24 (Figures 6a,6b) on the posterior CSCTD from #37- #34 to #43 - #47 after 5 years 10 months.
