Periodontitis is one of the most common oral diseases in adults, and the incidence of periodontitis increases with age. The periodontal patients with destruction of periodontal support results in various complicated oral problems, such as the increase of tooth mobility, as well as bite collapse and occlusal plane disharmony caused by missing teeth. They could be benefited thoroughly from multidisciplinary treatments for examples periodontics, endodontics, orthodontics, oral surgery, prothodontics etc.
In this thesis, nine cases involving medium to comprehensive periodontal prosthesis are presented. These cases were completed through the treatment protocols such as initial phase, re-evaluation, surgical phase, prosthetic phase and maintenance phase.
In according to their main complaints and concern, also considered the patients physical health conditions and financial status. The practice of various surgeries like sinus lift, ridge split technique, connective tissue graft, crown lengthening procedure, apicoectomy and the applications of dental implants helped to treat patients appropriately .
Finally, the oral health, function of mastication, and esthetics of these patients were restored.
