The four first permanent molars in a 16‐year‐old girl with juvenile periodontitis were treated by selective grinding, tooth eruption, conventional periodontic treatment and endodontic therapy. The endodontic treatment was carried out as an elective procedure under ideal conditions, thereby preempting the emergency treatment which would have been necessary following occlusal reduction. The two‐year follow‐up examination showed successful resolution of the original condition.
