| Summary: | The aim of this case report was to describe the efficacy of modified Whale's tail technique in the treatment of wide intrabony defect in the esthetic zone. A systemically healthy 42-year-old female reported with a complaint of spacing between her upper front teeth. Intraoral examination revealed a midline diastema with a deep periodontal pocket in relation to the maxillary left central incisor and a radiographic evidence of vertical bone loss. The modified Whale's tail technique was used, and alloplastic bone graft material was placed. After 6 months, there was a reduction in pocket depth and radiographic evidence of bone fill. |
