Summary

It was difficult to assess this patient due to my inexperience and the extended time in between patient visits. I would have liked to reevaluate him to see if my probing depths were accurate from the first time.

The patient will not let me retake pictures and will not come back for re-evaluation

I still believe this patient to have generalized active chronic periodontitis.
