title: Provisionalizing periodontally involved dentition with implants.
abstract: Many patients who are partially or fully edentulous have practiced poor oral hygiene. However, implants can benefit even those patients who are not ideal candidates. In cases of severe periodontal compromise, implants may enhance the survival of the natural teeth, minimize the difficulties of transition if additional tooth loss occurs, and also offer significant psychological benefit to the patient.
