The article describes a dental case which shows inadequate restorative environment that was changed using periodontal surgery and pre-prosthetic laboratory work. The case involves a 65-year-old woman who complained of a four-unit bridge that had been remade and re-cemented in the previous years. The treatment plan for the patient include referring her to a periodontist to perform crown lengthening on both arches and doing a pre-treatment wax-up using new mounted study models.
