Early destruction of the periodontium is characterized by rapid loss of the supporting structures of the teeth in an otherwise healthy individual under the age of 30 years. Management of such severe periodontitis commonly demands meticulous nonsurgical therapy, antibiotic administration, and surgical periodontal therapy with bone grafting procedures to reestablish the lost periodontium. In unfortunate circumstances that necessitate the extraction of teeth, prosthetic rehabilitation becomes quite complicated. The present case report describes an interesting case of molar–incisor pattern periodontitis that caused esthetic and functional compromise, and its conscientious prosthetic rehabilitation using a type of fixed-removable denture termed Andrew’s bridge.
