. A case of junvenile periodontitis treated by autogenous bone grafting is reported. The patient, an 18‐year‐old female, presented with periodontal lesions around the incisors and the first lower left molar. The first molar was severely affected with bone defects at the mesial aspect and in the furcation region and, for this reason, was selected for grafting. Minced fragments of bone with its marrow, obtained from the patient's iliac crest, were implanted into the diseased periodontium. 1 year after treatment, clinical and radiological inspection revealed the presence of boned. This bone completely filled the furcation area of the tooth but only partially the mesial aspect. There was, also, significant bone fill in the supracrestal region.
