After adequate control of supragingival plaques, scaling and root planing by hand and an ultrasonic scaler with a furcation tip were performed. Then, after meticulous mechanical debridement, minocycline HCl ointment was applied topically into the periodontal pocket once a week for 4 consecutive weeks. After 3 months, the deepest probing pocket depth of tooth 36 improved from 6 mm to 3 mm. After the initial periodontal therapy, periodontal surgeries were carried out for teeth with a probing pocket depth of over 4 mm and bleeding on probing.
