Brief summary
The aim of the present study is to understand the influence that marginal/subgingival restorations exert on the surrounding periodontal tissues. Even though proximal restorations are routine in everyday clinical practice, few information is available as to whether or not they may have a detrimental effect on the supracrestal tissue attachment.
