Abstract:

Anterior teeth are the main zones that reflect oral aesthetics. The histological structure, outside appearance, relative ratios, and other characteristics of tissues must be understood to obtain relatively ideal and natural restoration effects. A collaboration of different disciplines must be implemented to obtain harmonious and stable restoration outcomes that help the majority appreciate beauty. This article aims to discuss the role of periodontics in this collaboration and introduce several common techniques.

Key words: anterior teeth, prosthodontics, periodontics, aesthetics
