This paper reports na extensive case of ameloblastic fibro-odontoma in the mandible of a 3-year-old patient, discussed in comparison to cases selected from a brief literature review on the clinical characteristics, Evolution and therapeutic options for this lesion. In the last years, there was no consensus in the literature concerning its etiopathogenesis and classification, yet recently the AFO was classified as a developing odontoma. This case is in accordance with the 7 cases reported in the literature of AFO in the mandible of children aged 10 years or younger, especially concerning the lesion pattern and evolution and treatment adopted.

The Moment

Purposes: The aim of this case report is to suggest and discuss an up-to-date interdisciplinary approach to a complex periodontal case, adjusting different treatment strategies intra-individually based on the biological, functional and aesthetic dimensions of each patient. Case report: The case refers to a 42-year-old healthy male patient with IIIB generalized periodontitis. After cause-related therapy, the patient was submitted to periodontal resective surgery with fibre retention technique in the maxilla and surgical regenerative procedures in the posterior regions of the mandible with enamel matrix derivative and bovine xenograft. After Supportive Periodontal Therapy (SPT) institution the patient went through an aesthetic rehabilitation phase to minimize the disease sequelae. Conclusion: Modern evidence-based periodontal treatment options must be site-specific oriented in order to achieve the best clinical outcomes. A contemporary vision of periodontal treatment must go beyond the moment of establishment of an individualized SPT programme and these restorative solutions are very powerful tools to give back confidence and increase the self-esteem of our patients.
