A case of post‐juvenile periodontitis in a 28‐year‐old female patient is described along with new periodontal treatment modalities. Administration of minocycline‐HCl with local drug delivery system was introduced as a part of initial periodontal therapy following microbiological and immunological examinations. The lesions were subsequently treated by guided tissue regeneration, which resulted in considerable gain of attachment with minimal recession of marginal gingiva. This observation suggests that the local delivery of antibiotics and regenerative therapy may prove to be effective alternative modalities in treatment of post‐juvenile periodontitis.
