The patient’s age, ethnicity, history, and clinical and radiographic exams led to the diagnosis of molar/incisor pattern stage III grade C periodontitis. The molars were not mobile and the defects surrounding them were intrabony, which are highly amenable to regeneration by guided tissue regeneration or enamel matrix protein. Moreover, the patient also had very good oral hygiene and was highly compliant. Therefore these molars will have a fair prognosis. However, the long‐term prognosis of mandibular incisors is questionable as the sites exhibited severe destruction of the periodontium with bone loss almost to the apex of the teeth.
