Osseous resective surgery for periodontal disease can yield positive long-term results. Maintaining favorable tissue morphology aids oral hygiene and plaque control, contributing to treatment success.

Area of Science:

  • Periodontology
  • Oral Surgery

Background:

  • This case report examines the 20-year outcome of osseous resective therapy for moderate periodontal disease.
  • The patient received initial therapy and osseous recontouring with an apically positioned flap in 1984.

Observation:

  • In 2003, a traumatic complication occurred: a fracture in the maxillary left first molar's pulp chamber roof.
  • Exploratory surgery identified the fracture, leading to buccal root resection while preserving the palatal root.

Findings:

  • The study reevaluated the long-term efficacy of osseous resective surgery following the complication.
  • Positive treatment outcomes were observed, attributed to improved tissue morphology.

Implications:

  • Osseous resective surgery can lead to favorable tissue morphology, enhancing oral hygiene and plaque control.
