[Periodontal aspects of care of partially edentulous jaws]

After an initial periodontal therapy to reduce bleeding a pocket depth and after reaching an AOI below 30% it is possible to make an apical reposition-flap. It is apt to supragingivalize the margins of restorations of fractured teeth or in case of subgingival lesions or preparation margins. In combination with a good recall-system thus the prognosis of periodontal treatment can be optimized.
