Abstract

|
|
Bony exostosis, one of the osseous deformities, could act as a contributing factor of periodontal disease since it makes proper tooth brushing difficult and causes traumatic ulcer. The purpose of this case report is to show improvement of periodontal health by removal of bony exostoses and creation of physiologic osseous form. A 58 year-old female patient with recurrent ulcer and pain on bony exostoses located on left maxillary palatal area and both mandibular buccal areas was treated. Exostoses were removed and physiologically positive osseous form was created following vertical grooving, radicular blending, flattening interproximal bone and gradualizing marginal bone. The patient showed no further recurring traumatic ulcer and bone exposure. Moreover, periodontal pocket was eliminated and food impaction was decreased. In conclusion, periodontal health could be achieved through removal of multiple bony exostoses and development of ideal osseous form.
