This paper reports the management of a patient with severe localized periodontitis accompanied by drifting and extrusion of a central incisor. Although the traditional treatment approach to this condition often includes extraction and prosthetic replacement, the approach presented here provides an alternative to extraction by combining periodontal and orthodontic treatment.

D009967	Orthodontic Appliances	Devices used for influencing tooth position. Orthodontic appliances may be classified as fixed or removable, active or retaining, and intraoral or extraoral.

D009971	Orthodontics, Corrective	The phase of orthodontics concerned with the correction of malocclusion with proper appliances and prevention of its sequelae (Jablonski's Illus. Dictionary of Dentistry).	Corrective Orthodontics
D010518	Periodontitis	Inflammation and loss of connective tissues supporting or surrounding the teeth. This may involve any part of the PERIODONTIUM. Periodontitis is currently classified by disease progression (CHRONIC PERIODONTITIS; AGGRESSIVE PERIODONTITIS) instead of age of onset.

D014086	Tooth Mobility	Horizontal and, to a lesser degree, axial movement of a tooth in response to normal forces, as in occlusion. It refers also to the movability of a tooth resulting from loss of all or a portion of its attachment and supportive apparatus, as seen in periodontitis, occlusal trauma, and periodontosis.
