Abstract :
Food impaction is forceful wedging of food
into the periodontium. Continuous impaction food leads
to localized periodontitis, periodontal abscess and even
carious lesion. The contour of occlusal surface
established by the marginal ridges and related
developmental grooves normally serves to deflect food
from interproximal spaces. MIS-based periodontal
therapy involves minimal incision and removal of the
affected tissues and formation of a space to allow for the
maximum retention of blood clots on the wounded
surface, thereby inducing wound stability with the aim of
achieving new attachment, which is the ideal mode of
attachment This case report is based on using minimally
invasive surgical technique (single flap approach) with
occlusal recontouring in the management of patient with
chief complaint of food impaction causing localised
periodontitis.
