The perio-ortho interrelationship is becoming increasingly popular as patients and
clinicians alike realise the need and benefits of multidisciplinary treatment when
required. It is however important that the disciplines work together in a synergistic
way and understand how they benefit each other and how they can avoid negatively
affecting or disturbing each other's outcome.
