A 41-year-old man has chronic periodontits with bruxism.  The teeth #14 and 15 are supraerupted (Fig.1 arrows) with furcal lesion (Fig.2 (CT) *).  These 2 molars have guarded to poor prognosis.  Due to insurance benefit limitation, we plan to save them temporarily so that bone loss would not get worse when the teeth are being intruded.
