SUMMARY
The relationship between periodontal health and the restoration of teeth is intimate and inseparable. An adequate understanding of relationship between periodontal tissues and restorative dentistry is paramount to ensure adequate form, function, esthetics, and comfort of the dentition. The concept of biologic width forms the basis of success periodontal soft tissue integration. The overall health of periodontal tissue is solely dependent on properly designed restoration. Incorrectly placed restorative margins and poorly adapted restorations violate the biologic width. Biologic width is essential for the preservation of periodontium which ultimately decides the success of restorative procedures. Repeated maintenance visits, patient co-operation and motivation are important for improved success of restorative procedures with pristine periodontal health.
