title: The use of porcelain laminate veneers and a removable gingival prosthesis for a periodontally compromised patient: a clinical report.
abstract: Periodontal disease may lead to tooth and tissue loss that can result in esthetic problems. Combined periodontal/prosthodontic treatment for patients with advanced periodontal disease is well documented. This clinical report illustrates a method of treatment for advanced tissue loss in an esthetic area using porcelain laminate veneers and a removable gingival prosthesis.
