The Interrelationship Between Restorative Dentistry And Periodontology
Shashi Patel, DDS, PA, MSc, BDSc, FAGD, FRACDS, MGDS, DDPH, LDS
This paper reviews the relationship of periodontics to restorative dentistry. The effect of various restorative procedures - operative techniques, endodontics, interim restorations, materials, design and contour of restorations - upon the periodontium are considered. Specific emphasis has been placed on the relationship of the restorative margin to the periodontium and the frequent need to alter the placement of the gingival margin so that the restoration will be constructed on sound tooth structure and have supragingival finishing line. All the available information conclude that a compliant patient and a strong periodontal maintenance programme are integral to success, which with a coordinated effort by the periodontist and the restorative dentist, best assures a successful long term dental treatment. |
