Restorative dentistry. Interactions with periodontics.

The integration of periodontal considerations with restorative planning is now the standard of care. Instilling motivation toward prevention continues to be one of our most challenging goals. A stable healthy periodontium and minimum restorative needs are the resulting rewards. With the use of available knowledge and microbial testing for both periodontitis and caries susceptibility, we now can offer our patients a higher likelihood of success in retaining natural teeth and implants.

Restoration of endodontically treated teeth. A conservative approach.

Available long-term follow-up on the restoration of pulpless teeth is minimal when compared with traditional techniques such as cast crowns and amalgam restorations. It is important to note that no single technique is ideally suited to restore all pulpless teeth. The restorative technique selected should be designed so that functional forces do not put undue strain on the cusps, roots, or incisal edge of the tooth. In addition, pin-composite or pin-amalgam restorations and no crown may be used as the final restoration, even if not ideally suited as the treatment of choice in the following circumstances: Questionable endodontic or prosthodontic prognosis; Economic factors; Medically compromised patients; Teeth not receptive to dowels. Thus, with careful attention to diagnosis and treatment planning, various modalities of treatment may be utilized to conservatively restore the pulpless tooth.
