Clinical guide to periodontology: part 3. Multidisciplinary integrated treatment

Abstract

The establishment of periodontal health should be a primary aim in all treatment plans. The methods by which this can be achieved have been dealt with in previous chapters, but there are a number of situations where integration of these treatment methods with other dental disciplines needs to be clarified. To simplify matters this chapter will consider periodontal implications in three main areas: treatment of drifted anterior teeth, pre-restorative procedures and replacement of missing teeth.
