Outline of Final Research Achievements	We aimed to verify the effect of Low Intensity Pulsed Ultra Sound (LIPUS) stimulation on the inhibition of concrescent tooth using SD rats, and the following conclusions were reached: In histological findings of the rats that were stimulated by LIPUS, three out of five subjects indicated inhibition of the concrescent tooth, and their Periotest values showed values equal to control group. Thus, the efficacy of the LIPUS stimulation on the inhibition of concrescent tooth was possibly verified.
