Abstract
The success in periodontal-prosthetic therapy lies in patient satisfaction with subjective and customized treatment regimen that has been refined for individual needs. To fulfill these requirements, multiple predictors may have to be taken into consideration in the comprehensive treatment planning. Incorporation of complex factors that guarantee the evidence-based therapy would include, but not limited to, osseous morphology, biotype of gingival around abutment, bone morphology of interdental bone and those around furcation area, abutment or bridge mobility. The periodontal-restorative interface should be of mutually protective. Also strategic and esthetic value of abutment teeth to be restored should also be taken into consideration. Taken together, all these should work in concert to enhance the predictability and longevity of abutment teeth in periodontal-prosthetic therapy.
