Outcome and follow-up
All tooth movement, gingival hemorrhage, and gingival swelling resolved
or improved, with no abnormalities in occlusion(Fig 2B). Periodontal
pockets were less than 3 mm in all jaws (Table 1B). Bone growth was
observed on panoramic radiographic findings in the area of significant
alveolar bone resorption, and the alveolar hard line, mandibular canal
wall, and bone beam structure, which had been unclear, became clear. On
day116 after the start of treatment, in the mandibular left molar, which
had been significantly resorbed, the jawbone, which had been seen up to
about one-third of the root apex at the initial examination, had grown
up to the tooth cervix (Fig 3B).
