Unraveling coronoplasty in periodontics

Abstract

The study of dental occlusion often considered mysterious has been a subject of major interest since the time of the emergence of modern dentistry due to the fact that good clinical practice excels only after having proper knowledge about occlusion. Occlusal surfaces, if and when inhibited, cause trauma to the individual, becoming a matter of attention and concern for clinicians as well as patients. Coronoplasty is the procedure that selectively reduces the supracontacts, thus relieving patient of the same. It is used to provide better stability and occlusion in a permanent dentition noninvasively. The aim of this article is to throw light on occlusion, occlusion interferences, and treating of the same so that it can be applied by clinicians, especially periodontists, for treatment of the same.
