Bridging Periodontology and Prosthodontics: Contemporary Perspectives on Oral Rehabilitation Following Periodontal Therapy

This narrative review aimed to summarize the contemporary evidence regarding the integration of periodontal and prosthodontic treatment. A narrative literature review was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, including studies published between January 1990 and May 2026. Relevant studies, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, consensus reports, and clinical guidelines published in English were analyzed. Current evidence highlights the importance of comprehensive periodontal assessment before prosthodontic treatment, including evaluation of probing depth, attachment loss, furcation involvement, tooth mobility, periodontal phenotype, and oral hygiene status. Appropriate periodontal preparation and supportive periodontal care contribute significantly to the long-term success of both tooth-supported and implant-supported restorations. Successful oral rehabilitation requires close interdisciplinary collaboration between periodontology and prosthodontics. Periodontal stability, patient compliance, and long-term maintenance remain key factors for predictable treatment outcomes.
