Perio-prosthetic rehabilitation of a geminated central incisor.
The consequences of disregarding the periodontal tissues through improper restoration design are illustrated. A geminated central incisor is aesthetically restored with a porcelain labial margin ceramometal crown and its normal counterpart with a porcelain laminate veneer to equalize proportions of the two teeth. Prior to restoration, the perio-prosthetic interdisciplinary approach is described in rehabilitation of the damaged periodontal tissues.
