Perio-Resto Interrelationship – A Literature Review

Abstract

The interrelationship between restorative dentistry and periodontics is very dynamic and inseparable. The establishment of periodontal health is a prerequisite for successful restorative procedures, because for a restoration to survive, the periodontium must be healthy so that the teeth are maintained properly in the dental arch. The adaptation of the margins, the proximal relationships and the surface smoothness has a critical biological impact on the periodontium. Therefore dental restorations play a significant role in maintaining periodontal health. This literature review addresses the interactions between periodontal tissues and restorative procedure.
