Abstract
Periodontitis is associated with microbial infection, which activates host-derived inflammatory mediators resulting in the attachment loss of the periodontium. In this case report, a 31-year old female with chronic generalized periodontitis and inflammatory gingival enlargement was treated by comprehensive periodontal therapy in which the initial visits targeted the control of local etiological factors. Flap surgery, in all the quadrants, was planned and was carried out subsequently. Regenerative modality was implemented in defects that were containable. The patient was followed up for three years and received supportive periodontal care. Optimal oral hygiene and patient compliance led to an improved outcome in the gingival and periodontal status of the patient.
