Although their etiology has been attributed to heavy occlusal forces, this article presents a case where opposing occlusion did not exist and patient's history revealed that the dehiscence was aggravated after removal of opposing teeth thus suggesting a strong relation between degree of dehiscence and lack of occlusal forces.
