Interrelations Paro-Prothèse

Abstract

Periodontal health and dental restorations are closely linked; indeed, a prosthesis should only be undertaken in the presence of a healthy or well-maintained periodontium. Conversely, the prosthesis must ensure the long-term maintenance of this health. All prosthetic work must be designed in such a way as to: - Not promote the accumulation of various deposits; - Allow for their removal; - Avoid any occlusal overload. Given that many failures result from neglecting periodontal guidelines, a pre-prosthetic periodontal examination remains a mandatory prerequisite before the fabrication of any prosthetic device. It will therefore include essential steps, both clinical and complementary (radiological, microbiological examinations, etc.), the aim of which is to objectively and comprehensively assess the condition of the periodontium receiving the device, as well as the subsequent periodontal preparation.

In turn, the prosthesis, by adhering to well-established and codified manufacturing criteria, will contribute to the longevity of the periodontium.
