title: Short tooth syndrome: diagnosis, etiology, and treatment management.
abstract: The periodontal-restorative team is uniquely positioned to provide the esthetic procedures that today's sophisticated patient population has come to expect. Not only is health and function of great desire but also esthetics is in demand. Armed with periodontal-plastic procedures and technically advanced restorative materials, the periodontal-restorative team can provide these patient needs. The challenge becomes making the correct diagnosis and selecting the appropriate treatment regimen.
