title: Interdisciplinary Treatment Planning in Transitioning a Periodontally Hopeless Dentition: A Clinical Case Review.
abstract: Treating patients with advanced periodontal disease may require staged treatment that utilizes various modalities. In this case report, a patient with a high-risk periodontal condition lacked the financial means to receive optimal treatment immediately. The interdisciplinary team was able to provide a solution that addressed immediate needs and provide stability in the short term by retaining teeth that could be maintained for a limited amount of time until a long-term solution using implant-retained prostheses could be provided.
