Abstract

Stage IV Periodontitis is characterized by complex symptoms, including the loss of teeth, occlusal instability/collapse, ridge defects and increased tooth mobility. The management of such issues requires interdisciplinary collaboration to optimise outcomes.

CPD/Clinical Relevance: An understanding of the clinical decision making when considering tooth replacement options in stage IV periodontitis patients is important.
