Abstract

Periodontal health and various types of dental restorations are very closely related. On the one hand, periodontitis is a multifactorial disease. The main etiological factor is the microflora found in dental plaque. Plaque retentive factors - both natural and iatrogenic - are extremely important for the development of an inflammatory process of the periodontium. Among the most common iatrogenic plaque retentive factors are overhanging interproximal restorations (direct and indirect) and not precisely made prosthetic fixed structures. On the other hand, for restorative dentistry to be successful, it is necessary to first achieve periodontal health in the respective area, which should be maintained after the fabrication and placement of the dental restoration.
