A Study of Alterations of the Occlusal force following non surgical treatment

Relationship between the prognosis of periodontitis and occlusal force during the maintenance phase - a cohort study

“…Makino et al. (38) examined whether initial periodontal treatment yielded functional improvement of the occlusal force and periodontal pocket. They reported that occlusal force significantly increased after periodontal treatment.…”

The potential positive effect of periodontal treatment on brain function activity using functional magnetic resonance imaging analysis

“…Makino et al. 2 concluded that occlusal force increases with periodontal treatment and that the amount of change was seen to be significantly larger in the molars than in the anterior teeth, and that inflammatory changes in periodontal tissue and occlusal force are closely related. PISA and PESA have recently been used as indicators of the inflammatory states of periodontal tissue.…”

“… 1 It was found that the improvement of periodontal tissue resulting from periodontal initial treatment significantly increased the occlusal force. 2 Thus, periodontal treatment not only improved the periodontal tissue, but also increased the occlusion.…”

The Alteration of Brain Function by the Improvement of Periodontal Tissues and Occlusal State

“…Periodontal treatment is aimed at eliminating the cause of periodontal disease, stopping the progress of lesions, and eliminating factors such as plaque and calculus from occurring. Previous clinical evaluations [ 5 ] had largely focused on PPD, CAL, and radiographs; however, there were very few reports that targeted the functional changes of occlusion [ 6 ]. Makino et al [ 6 ] concluded that occlusal force increases with periodontal treatment and that the amount of change was seen to be significantly larger in the molars than in the anterior teeth and that inflammatory changes in periodontal tissue and occlusal force are closely related.…”

In this case, the improvement of periodontal tissue and an increase of occlusal force were observed.…”
