ABSTRACT

Loss of supporting bone structure caused by periodontal disease is a factor that not only exacerbates problems related to tooth mobility it can lead to include tooth extraction as part of the treatment. Added to this fact, presence of systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus significantly increases the shape of bone defects. This is turn causes that support and its characteristics to lack functionality and the favorable esthetics required to attain prosthetic rehabilitation. A case report is presented of a male, 50 year old patient, presenting in the upper central left incisor Miller class III recession as well as grade III mobility. The situation warranted extraction. After extraction, treatment consisted on placement of three autologous grafts: two grafts were made of connective tissue, the third was made of free gingival tissue. To complete treatment, months after last graft recovery, a gingivoplasty of the area was performed enabling thus recovery of function and improving aesthetics for later prosthetic rehabilitation.
