ARDILA MEDINA, C.M.. The influence of margins of restorations on gingival health. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2010, vol.26, n.2, pp.107-114. ISSN 2340-3152.

The relationship between dental restorations and periodontal status has been examined for some time. Research has shown that subgingival margin placement play an important role in providing an ecologic niche for periodontal pathogens. The location of gingival margin of a restoration is directly related to the health status of the adjacent periodontium and there are two factors that could adversely influence the periodontal response, the degree of marginal adaptation and the intracrevicular depth of the preparation finish line. Although control of important variables was not uniform among the studies, important conclusions can be garnered from this cientific evidence that elevates one's awareness of how periodontal tissues respond to prosthodontic restorations.
