19. Calculus If this lesion was considered for endodontic treatment – it is necessary to complete “closed” root planing if there is to be any osseous regeneration
The surgical support necessary to alter the dento-gingival complex has been oversimplified. The request from the restorative dentist to merely crown lengthen # 6-11 is inadequate communication. This review will focus on the clinical techniques necessary to establish predictable combined periodontal and restorative results.
Pulpal disease shares an identical etiology with periodontal disease. Both entities have Microbiologic and Immunologic/ Histopathologic features in common.
Microbiota in necrotic pulps is not as complex (1 or 2 species may predominate)
