Periodontal and esthetic consideration in the treatment of complex prosthetic cases

A complex prosthetic case is very often a severe periodontitis case and one that needs a multidisciplinary treatment. Treatment plan and definition of the sequence of therapeutic events play, of course, a fundamental role in approaching this type of patient. The understanding of patient expectations is as important as planning the case. The dentist has to explain the real possibilities of the planned treatment in order to be sure that the final treatment will satisfy the expectations of the patient. Cases will be described and analyzed step by step describing why and how the various phases were performed from the first visit, revaluation, to the cementation of the final prosthetic rehabilitation.
