The concept of neutropenia includes all of those pathologies in which there are less than 1500 neutrophil leukocyte cells/mm3 of peripheral blood. This could be due to a decrease in their production or an increase in their destruction. When this occurs, gingival and periodontal pathologies are common. We present a clinical case of a 6 year old patient with constitutional neutropenia, who had an important loss of periodontal insertion tissue. After two years of periodic treatment, which included instructions in oral hygiene, tartar removal and the aplication of a clorhexidine varnish, we archieved a decrease in the rate of periodontal destruction, although not completely.
