Abstract
The proximal tooth surface integrity of 826 patients was correlated with periodontal probing depths. Results show relatively increased probing depths adjacent to restored proximal tooth surfaces, with the greatest probing depths adjacent to overhanging restorations and restorations with recurrent caries. The data confirm the significant tendency of the periodontal condition to deteriorate as a function of decreasing surface quality. Probing depth appeared to increase with the patient's age. Surface condition, however, showed a significant relationship with probing depths in all age groups.
