ABSTRACT
This narrative review explores the clinical, anatomical, and microbiological foundations that underlie the synergy between periodontics and prosthodontics. Topics covered include periodontal evaluation, biologic width, initial therapy, re-evaluation, and maintenance—highlighting their critical impact on prosthetic outcomes. Current clinical evidence demonstrates that neglecting periodontal health prior to rehabilitation compromises the longevity and biological integration of prosthetic work. Moreover, the emergence of digital workflows, biomimetic materials, regenerative therapies, and AI-based diagnostic tools are shaping a new era of personalized, biologically guided oral rehabilitation. A coordinated, interdisciplinary approach remains essential for optimizing both the structural and biological aspects of oral health.
