Lecture
Topic : Interdisciplinary Periodontics: Role of periodontics in Multidisciplinary Treatment

Synopsis :

As esthetic expectations of patients are increasing, patients who present with complex restorative needs almost always require a multidisciplinary approach to treatment. Prosthodontic/ restorative, orthodontic and periodontic disciplines are often involved in esthetic cases. This cross-discipline endeavor requires both parties to have a mutual understanding of the possibilities and limitations of different treatments on short- and long-term outcomes. It is imperative that periodontal tissues are healthy before restorative treatment commences, and additional periodontal treatment is commonly indicated to facilitate improved restorative treatment outcomes. Predictable prosthesis longevity is dependent on the cleansibility of the restored tooth or teeth and on the relationship between prosthodontics and periodontics when planning and performing the prosthodontic treatment. While correction of some orthodontic problems (spaced incisors, traumatic deep bites) may be particularly beneficial in periodontally compromised patients, excessive and unrealistic tooth movements are also likely to result in reduced alveolar bone thickness, especially in patients with thin cortical plates. A critical issue in the orthodontic treatment planning of any patient revolves around how much orthodontic movement the periodontium can tolerate before it becomes adversely affected. Understanding the interrelationship between endodontic and periodontal diseases is of crucial importance to the clinician because of the challenges frequently encountered and will enhance the clinician’s ability to establish the correct diagnosis, assess the prognosis of the teeth involved and select a treatment plan based on biological and clinical evidence. This guest lecture provides an overview of impact of/ on periodontium in interdisciplinary dentistry will be discussed.
