Prosthetic

Can a Periodontist elect to have a lab install the prosthetic after the original one was installed by the Periodontist, it seems every time the issue of breakage was found the lab came in " Perrin-Young" The lab came in for installation and removal, versus the Dr. Periodontist, is this standard actions taken by most perdontist?

Anonymous Patient

A periodontist can absolutely Install a prosthetic. If the lab created the prosthetic based on a computer generated model, it would be appropriate for the lab to come out to make sure there isn't something else wrong. For a very complex case, it is best to have a team involved including a periodontist and a prosthodontist.
