Occlusal AdjustmentConservative Periodontal Procedures |
Occlusal AdjustmentOcclusal Adjustment is a treatment method that is used to alleviate excessive forces on specific teeth through gentle recontouring of the biting surfaces of the teeth. The method involves no anesthesia and re-establishes an even bite. As a result of the treatment, the pressure on certain teeth is removed allowing them to function in coordination with the rest of the teeth in the mouth. |
Occlusal adjustment is used when there is tooth pain from a traumatic bite or when periodontal problems have been worsened as a result of a combination of trauma from the bite and an existing periodontal inflammation. In cases of TMJ dysfunction, occlusal adjustment is used in combination with night guards to resolve the problem. |
