This is due to increasing numbers of old patients, and the awareness of periodontal and occlusal pathosis, to enhance public awareness of periodontal disease, and to a growing widespread desire to preserve our natural or restore dentitions in good health, function, and esthetics. Long-term success in periodontal prosthetic treatment depends on case design that is influenced by the healthy abutment teeth, sound occlusal concepts and maintenance therapy. Periodontal-prosthetics is a multidisciplinary therapeutic regimen that has as its goal the reestablishment of oral health of the patient with moderate to advanced marginal periodontitis and associated progressive and irreversible tooth mobility. The physiologic form and function of the dentition and its supporting structures are restored and stabilized by means of combined periodontal and prosthetic therapy, supplemented when required by endodontic, orthodontic, and oral surgical procedures. Such a complex therapeutic effort requires a coordinated approach to diagnosis and a carefully orchestrated treatment plan. During the periodontal prosthesis treatment, communication between the dental practitioner and patients is the key factor to the successful therapy. A well planned, effective, and comprehensive diagnosis and treatment plan is the main points of periodontal prosthesis treatment. Even though, scientific technology progresses rapidly, only by effective preventive measures, efficient control of existing conditions, reducing chair side time, reducing cost, at same time restoring occlusal function, restoring verbal function, restoring chewing and esthetic function, can the patients of advance periodontitis enjoy full benefit of periodontal prosthesis.
