Abstract

|
The relationship between occlusion and periodontal health has been studied extensively. Despite this, there are few reports on the effects of intentional passive eruption (IPE) using an occlusal reduction. The aim of this clinical report was to present the favorable long-term results of IPE using an occlusal reduction combined with scaling and root planing. After periodontal examination, teeth were diagnosed as moderate chronic periodontitis with intrabony defects and mobility. IPE was performed using periodic occlusal reduction combined with initial periodontal therapy. All teeth examined healed uneventfully and the patients did not complain of discomfort. It has been clinically well maintained during 8 years after completion of IPE. Overall, these results suggest that the IPE would be helpful in improving periodontal health.
