title: Accessing restoration margins--a multidisciplinary approach.
abstract: Dentists frequently balance periodontal, restorative, and esthetic concerns that will provide adequate tooth length, ensure periodontal health, and provide biological predictability. This report discusses the current and classical literature and provides a multidisciplinary approach of predictably "accessing" the restoration margins to facilitate long-term gingival health and tooth survival.
