(A) Periapical radiography revealed severe infrabony defects and trauma from occlusion on teeth 31 and 41. (B) Periapical radiography revealed dense bone-like tissues on teeth 31 and 41 after one-year follow-up. After 4.3-year (C) and 5.6-year (D) follow-up, no further alveolar bone loss was observed. Clinical photograph after 5.6-year follow-up revealed clinical health gingival architectures: (E) buccal view (F) lingual view.
