We report a case of generalized chronic periodontitis requiring periodontal regenerative therapy. The patient was a 53-year-old woman who presented with the chief complaint of gingival swelling. An initial examination revealed 31.5% of sites with a probing depth of ≥4 mm and 46.3% with bleeding on probing. Radiographic examination showed vertical bone resorption in tooth #33. Horizontal adsorption was also observed in other areas. Based on a clinical diagnosis of severe generalized chronic periodontitis, initial periodontal therapy consisting of plaque control, scaling and root planing, occlusal adjustment, caries treatment, and splint placement was performed. After re-evaluation, surgical periodontal treatment was performed at selected sites. Periodontal regeneration therapy with recombinant human fibroblast growth factor (rhFGF)-2 was performed at #33. Two other sites (#14, 15), which had residual periodontal pockets, were treated by open-flap debridement. After re-evaluation, the patient was placed on a maintenance program. Periodontal regenerative therapy with rhFGF-2 resulted in an improvement in angular bone resorption, which has been properly maintained for 2 years. Continued care is needed to maintain stable periodontal conditions.
