The perio-aesthetic-restorative approach for anterior reconstruction--Part I: Evaluation and periodontal surgery

Pract Proced Aesthet Dent. 2002 May;14(4):283-91; quiz 292.

Abstract

Precise communication is critical to the delivery of functional and aesthetic restorations. Interdisciplinary therapy integrates individual disciplines to function as a comprehensive unit and consistently provide predictable treatment results. Thorough diagnosis and treatment planning must be executed between every member of the perio-aesthetic-restorative team to ensure accurate communication and provision of the patient's desires. This two-part article compares the multidisciplinary treatment approach with the interdisciplinary approach in the replacement of congenitally missing lateral incisors.
