Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of chronic multifactorial character, associated with biofilm and susceptibility of the host. The classification of periodontal diseases underwent several modifications over the years, being the most current, dividing periodontitis into stages of disease progression. This paper aims to report a clinical case of a patient affected by a generalized periodontitis stage III, approached a conservative management of periodontal therapy. The patient was submitted to non-surgical periodontal therapy, which consists of oral health education, supra and subgingival scrapes. And after the period of reevaluation, the need for surgical periodontal treatment was verified, being this, open scaling for root access, in the areas where the depth of probing did not regress with subgingival scaling. The patient had a significant improvement of the periodontal parameters, considering that there was a reduction in almost all sites of probing and bleeding. Currently the patient is in periodic evaluation, which involves clinical and radiographic examinations every 3 months.
