Case Studies
A collection of Patient Case Studies for Periodontics Procedures
Case study #1:
advanced bone loss
Patient presented with advanced bone loss, swollen gums, gingivitis with infection and missing teeth on the upper right. The teeth were extracted and bone grafted in preparation for dental implants. Implants were placed and restored with porcelain crowns and in function for 8 years. Patient is seen on a regular basis for dental cleanings and evaluation of dental implants and porcelain bridgework.
Case Study #2: Iris Schwartz
Patient presented with acute gingivitis and progressive periodontal disease that required periodontal therapy. Periodontal cleanings are performed on a regular basis to maintain a healthy periodontal condition. Later on in treatment a root canal tooth fractured that required immediate extraction and dental implant placement. The tooth was restored with a crown and has been in function for a number of years.
