Recontouring Molar Crowns for Interdigitation?

[kjohnt]

I'm sure I'd read about this at some point but now I can't find anything...

Has anybody here had the crowns of your molars shaved/recontoured so your occlusion fits better?  I.e. if the "peaks" of the molars don't sit perfectly with the "valleys" of the opposite molars?  In my mind it would be something like the picture I've provided in that even grooves are shaved at the red lines of both arches so the "peaks" of the molars aren't contacting each other in the case of slight class II or class III molar relationship...

Is that a thing?

Had it done during surgery.

Ah the surgeon did it huh?  Good to know.  I was thinking it was something the ortho or my dentist would do.  I'm going to ask mine about it then.
