Periodontology and its relevance to clinical dentistry.

The important role played by restorations and prostheses in the accumulation of plaque necessitates careful design of all contours to enable proper removal of plaque by the patient. Early diagnosis of impacted teeth is essential as well as careful design of gingival flaps preserving the maximum of attached gingiva where their removal or exposure is planned. Difficulties arising from closed bite and orthordontic treatment, the need for careful consideration to the importance of endodontic therapy, and removable partial dentures in relation to the health of periodontium, are discussed.
