Abstract EN
This report, which is based on nonstandardized serial radiographs obtained over a period of 15 years, documents a case of localized chronic periodontitis associated with progressive deposition of calculus on the distal aspect of a mandibular second molar.
The site was treated by scaling and root planing, followed by a course of adjunctive systemic azithromycin.
Treatment yielded favorable reductions in probing depth and clinical inflammation, leaving only few isolated sites with pockets no deeper than 4 mm.
Two years after completion of active treatment, there was radiographic evidence of increased bone density distal to the second molar.
