Core Tip

Core Tip: Generalized periodontitis causes malocclusion by severe periodontal destruction. Little information is available on the long-term occlusal stability for generalized periodontitis. In this case report, we demonstrated that periodontal, orthodontic and prosthodontics are useful to improve long-term stability of occlusal function and healthy periodontal tissue for generalized periodontitis.
