Case 4: Pussy Gums of Heavy Smoker Restored to Health

This patient had been a heavy smoker for over 30 years, which leads to an inappropriate immune response with pus oozing from the gums.   Due to the advanced periodontal bone loss and infection in her gums, including pus in some areas, she was told by her dentist that she would be better off having all of her teeth extracted. She found PerioPeak Innovations and decided to undergo non invasive RPE instead of the traditional approach of extractions and implants or dentures.  Below is an example of the results achieved on all of her teeth.

Before RPE - 9mm pocket facial of tooth #5	Before RPE - 8mm pocket distal of #5	Before x-ray #5 - advanced bone loss
Only 3 months after RPE
After RPE 1mm facial #5	After RPE 2mm distal #5	Rapid bone fill 3 mo’s after RPE
