The patient was diagnosed with chronic generalized periodontitis with generalized horizontal bone loss on the basis of clinical and radiographic findings. On orthodontic evaluation, she has proclined upper and lower anterior with Class I molar relationship bilaterally and a canine Class I relationship bilaterally. She was treated with an interdisciplinary therapeutic protocol that included nonsurgical periodontal therapy, endodontic treatment, orthodontic therapy, and prosthetic rehabilitation.
