Preserving teeth is a long-term goal for each specialty of dentistry. Many times, it involves the use of interdisciplinary work and team effort to reach the desired goal. With the advancement of age and patient education, many patients have the desire to save their teeth as long as possible. Incorrect brushing techniques can lead to gingival recession, which, over a period of time, can advance to severe attachment loss of periodontal structures, causing complete denudation of the tooth root. Ultimately, it results in dentinal hypersensitivity and, consequently, chronic pulpitis. Over a period of time, it can result in food lodgment and the development of a periodontal pocket. Many times, the patient reports at the advanced stage of the disease when the treatment becomes complicated and requires interdisciplinary approaches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
