Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the treatment of molar affected FI using combined TPP, non-surgical RSR, and occlusal therapy may provide effective technique in treating SAP with molar FI and SOT.
Background: It was thought that the cause of periodontal disease was related to the alignment of teeth. In addition, uneven occlusal contact is associated with periodontitis, such as SOT, tooth mobility.
Methods: A total 50 molars which consisted of 17 molars without RSR are classified as the control group; the other 33 molars with RSR and 25 units of TPP are classified as the experimental group (14.8±2.0 months; from 12 to 18 months). Both groups of patients were recorded periodontal parameters including plaque index, gingival index, probing pocket depth, periodontal attachment level, tooth mobility, SOT.
Result: The results showed that the experimental group of molars affected FI had a significant improvement in both tooth mobility and SOT, as compared to the control group. It can be seen that the use of RSR combined TPP in SAP affected molar Classes II and III FIs to treat tooth mobility and SOT has a remarkable effect.
Conclusion: We can conclude that the treatment of molar affected FI using combined TPP, non-surgical RSR, and occlusal therapy may provide effective technique in treating SAP with molar FI and SOT.
