title: The emergence margin in prosthetic reconstruction of periodontally involved teeth.
abstract: This paper reviews types of preparation margins and the placement of the restoration's margins in relation to the gingival margin in prosthetic reconstruction of periodontally involved teeth. The "emergence margin," a new type of preparation margin, is presented through three case reports. The requirements for successful use of the emergence margin are discussed.
