Abstract
This report is purposed to provide a holistic perception on treating localized severe periodontitis case. Fifty-five years old male, complaining of recession on his lower incisors #42, #41, #31, #32. Tooth mobility was significantly in buccal-lingual aspects (grade III). Clinical attachment loss (CAL) is up to six mm. Radiograph findings, the height of the alveolar bone loss is up to the apical area. It showed a radiolucent area surround the apical tooth #42 and #32. He is refusing of any tooth extraction. Periodontics, endodontic and dental hygienist was elaborated as a team. The oral hygiene procedure, occlusal adjustment and also temporary splint were performed. Patient had root canal treatment. After evaluation phase, pocket debridement and sulcus conditioning were executed using Nd-YAG LASER. There was a significant enhancement in Bone Density (BD) and Bone Gain (BG). Tooth mobility was reduced. Comprehensive treatment plans are needed to achieve a satisfied long-term result. Case selection is important to give a predictable outcome. Adequate oral hygiene procedure, supportive periodontal therapy (SPT) and periodic recall are required to maintain the result.

Introduction Severe periodontitis is characterized by massive destruction of the dental supporting tissues and tooth mobility that leading to tooth loss.1,2 It is almost always accompanied by traumatic occlusion as predisposing factor. The prevalence of severe periodontitis in 2010 has been reported reaching 11.2% of adult population worldwide and 13.1% in South East Asia.3 The incidence of periodontal disease (2012) in Indonesia was informed about 157.485 new cases (18.5%).4 Treating severe periodontitis is a challenge. In some situation, some patient refused to get their hopeless tooth
being extracted. Instead of extract the tooth, they prefer to preserve it. Samet et al. (2009) explained the prognosis classification based on periodontal tissue support, remaining tooth’s structure, endodontic condition, occlusal plane and also tooth position.5 Lang et al. (2015) in his meta-analysis report stated that the result of the periodontal therapy may be individual.6 Recently, non-invasive therapy has developed to approach this situation. New perspective of comprehensive teamwork management could be applied. Minimizing trauma, reducing patient’s anxiety and predictable result are gained with this approach. In order to maintain the long term success of hopeless tooth management, supportive periodontal therapy (SPT) is an take an crucial part.7,8 This report is purposed to provide a holistic perception on treating localized severe periodontitis case.

Case Report Fifty-five year old male is complaining of recession on his lower incisor. Patient fells difficulty in biting and fear of tooth loss. The mobility of the incisor tooth was significantly buccal-lingual movement (grade III). Periodontal examination reveals clinical attachment loss (CAL) is about 5-6 mm. From the radiograph findings, the height of the alveolar bone loss is on the apical. There is radiolucent surround the apical of tooth #42 and #32. He is refusing of any tooth extraction. This lower incisor was categorized as a hopeless tooth and diagnosed as severe localized periodontitis inducing by traumatic occlusion. Tooth #31 and #32 had a primary periodontal-secondary endodontic lesion.
The vitality tooth #31 and #32 is non-vital with apical blackening as seen in the radiograph (figure.1). His medical history was observed and he was free of systemic diseases.
Figure 1. First clinical appearance and dental radiograph. Case Management: We do comprehensive teamwork, periodontics and endodontic. The
information about the disease condition, treatment’s option, prognosis, risk of failure and complication was given through the inform consent form and signed by the patient. Oral hygiene procedure, occlusal adjustment and also temporary splint are performed initially (figure 2).
No medication was given to this patient. On this phase, patient was told to perform a good oral hygiene procedure at home. Considering about the blackening appearance on the apical #42 and #32, then we referred it to the conservative department. Patient had a root canal treatment (RCT) on tooth #31 and #32 subsequently. The consideration to did RCT is because the vitality of tooth #31 and #32 were non-vital. It might become worse because there might be some infection spread from periodontal tissue into the pulp tissue leads to pulp necrosis. Even though from the radiograph examination, we note the blackening appearance on the apical tooth #42, but the tooth was vital. Therefore, we just evaluate the vitality of tooth #42. After the evaluation phase, pocket debridement and sulcus conditioning are executed using Nd-YAG LASER (figure 3).

Figure 3. Pocket debridement and sulcus conditioning were executed after endodontic treatment using Nd-YAG LASER.
Nine months after, we evaluate the
condition of gingiva and the mobility of the tooth. Patient shows good oral hygiene maintenance. Dental radiograph display a reducing of apical blackening on tooth #31 and #32 (figure 4).
The patient remains motivated to have a periodically recall periodontal visit. This is aimed to maintain good oral hygiene and also to confirm the long term success of severe periodontitis tooth. Two years follow-up, the periodontal pocket is reduced and the inflammation sign was absent.
Tooth mobility is also decreased. Dental radiograph shows a thickening of cortical bone and increasing of trabecular bone density (figure 5).

Discussion
Treating a severe periodontitis tooth is still a controversial issue whether to extract or to preserve it. For some patients, they insist to keep their own tooth rather than change with a denture. As a consequence, the patient had to performed adequate oral hygiene maintenance and to have periodically dental visit. Tooth #32, #31, #41, #42 in this case is characterized as severe localized periodontitis with hopeless prognosis. As seen in figure 1, the dental radiograph shows a massive horizontal bone destruction caused by traumatic occlusion. At the first visit, the patient is explained about the condition and the possibility risk on preserving the tooth. On tooth #32, there is almost no bone left surround the apical area. The ideal treatment plan for this patient would have been extraction of the hopeless tooth followed by removable denture, but keeping in mind the preference of the patient about preserving the tooth rather than extraction. Samet et al. (2009) explained the prognosis classification of this similar case. Based on Samet’s classification, this case was classified as a non-salvageable tooth or ―class x‖ due to less than 30% of alveolar bone support available. According to the Samet’s report, its indication therapy for that tooth is extraction.5 Lang et al. (2015) in his meta-analysis report concluded that the immune response to the periodontal therapy outcomes may be individual and vary amongst periodontitis patients.6 From that report, we may assumed that there might be a periodontal tissue improvement if the patient’s host response was positive to the treatment. Therefore, periodic clinical evaluation and supportive periodontal therapy are important to determine the prognosis for disease progression and the long-term maintenance.9-11
In managing this situation, almost similar management has been done by Rajpal et al (2013).12 He reported the therapy of hopeless tooth due to advanced periodontal disease by extracting the tooth, treating the root canal outside mouth and replanting it back to the socket technique by Lu DP13. Three months follow-up showed the replanted tooth was stable, health gingiva with no present of inflammation.12 In contrast with our case management, we did the root canal treatment inside the mouth without any extraction procedure. In our consideration by did the pocket debridement and sulcus
conditioning using Nd-YAG LASER, it will eliminate the bacterial activity and will directly promote the healing process. Seyyed A et. Al (2012) mention some application of LASER Nd-YAG in periodontology field such as soft tissue incision, ablation, sub-gingival curettage, bacterial elimination, sulcular debridement, melanin pigment removal and also treatment of dentine hypersensitivity.14 Tooth #31 and #32 need non-invasive periodontal therapy that could be given by using Nd-YAG LASER. LASER known has its ability as photo-bio-stimulator in promoting regeneration of fibroblast. Even though there is a severe bone loss, but the use of bone graft is not recommended in this kind of situation. Then use of bone graft as a regenerative material or guided tissue regeneration (GTR) was recommended better in three-wall bony defect or infra bony defect. Kanwal et al. (2014) stated that bone graft needs a vascularization to survive and attract undifferentiated mesenchymal cells and osteoblast.15 In our case, one-wall bony defect might be a challenge in the future to raise or develop a periodontal tissue vertically. Without taking a risk of periodontal tissue collapse due to invasive surgery, then we decided to perform in non-invasive way by Nd-YAG LASER.
Figure 6. Shows the significant improvement of bone density (BD) and bone gain (BG). BD in the apical lower incisors (tooth #41, #42, #31, #32) at baseline compared to 9 months and 24 months-after showed significant improvement of radio-opacity. In harmony with BD, BG in all tooth showed an improvement, especially tooth #32 and #31.

In order to maintain the long term success of hopeless tooth management, supportive periodontal therapy (SPT) is an important element. It has three goals, which is to prevent recurrence or disease progression in periodontitis patients, to prevent the incidence of tooth loss, and to increase the probability of locating and treating other conditions or diseases in timely manner.7,8 The follow-up study by Hirshfeld et al (1978) has revealed that the SPT will minimize the incidence of tooth loss, he found the tooth loss rate among patient who continue SPT is low (0.09 teeth/patient/year).9 Beside 2-3 months, 3-4 months, 6 months recall visit, the interval of SPT is suggested at least four times a year.10 Moreover, Renvert et al. (2004) explained that the SPT should be individualized to meet the needs of each patient.11 In our case, we advise the patient to follow SPT program every 6 months because the disease progression was reduced significantly.
Javed et al (2015) has investigated the Efficacy of non-surgical periodontal therapy with adjunct Nd:YAG laser among type-2 diabetic patients. He found that Nd-YAG LASER is significantly reduce gingival inflammation and could be served as adjunct therapy for medically compromised patients.16 This particular situation also observed by Brown (2013), that conventional surgical technique could often resulting unpleasant effects, pain or aesthetic problems. The application of LASER for periodontal pocket elimination has been clinically proved will effective in avoiding the bad effect.17
Contrary with previous authors, Romanos (2015) found that there was no significant result in bacterial reduction comparing subjects provided with scaling root planning (SRP) only and those who undergo SRP with Nd-YAG LASER.18 Nguyen et al (2015) has also agree with Romanos where LASER Nd-YAG did not showed significant difference compared to the conventional methods.19 Giannopoulou et al (2012) has studied about levels of several cytokines regarding LASER therapy. He concluded that there was no evidence for a specific diode LASER or photodynamic therapy will enhance the expression of inflammatory mediators.20
Conclusions
There was a significant enhancement of bone density (BD) and bone gain (BG) in lower incisors. Tooth mobility was decreased. Even though the aesthetic outcome in not achieved, the patient is quite satisfied with his result. Comprehensive teamwork (periodontics, endodontic and dental hygienist) are needed to achieve a satisfied long-term result. Even though the treatment of localized severe periodontitis tooth is still a challenge, non-invasive therapy could be appropriate for this case. Case selection is important to give a predictable outcome. Besides, an adequate oral hygiene procedure, SPT and periodic recall are required to maintain the result.
