periodontics

Something that is fluted is grooved...think of architectural columns with grooves around the periphery.
In dentistry, you often see fluting (vertical grooves/depressions) on tooth roots. For example, the distal aspect of the mesial root of mandibular molars. This area has a fairly prominent groove and can therefore be dangerous during endo...ie. perforation of the root. Another very common area of fluting is the mesial aspect of maxillary first premolars.

Fluting in perio is a way to remove a type 1 (possibly 2) furcation on a molar. The roots are reshaped to where the furcation is eliminated. Fluting in prosthodontics means a crown is made to "curve in" between the roots of the tooth when there is recession; aka there's an invagination in the middle of the buccal or lingual of a md molar above the furcation. The height of contour is also eliminated (or greatly reduced). This creates optimum periodontal health. Otherwise, a plaque trap is created.

You know, omfsapplicant, evading account holds is grounds for a permanent ban. You might want to be a little less obvious about it.omfs expert said:
