Predictable Implant Therapy With Science on Your Side Dean E. Kois, DMD, MSD Supragingival Dentistry: A Healthier Approach to Restorative and Esthetic Dentistry Richard Young, DDS Indirect and direct restorations are healthier and easier when the margins are supragingival, and it does not happen by luck.
