Periodontal Treatment can be the best option instead of Dental Implants?

I have read recently some researches and reports about the periodontal treatment, that indicating if someone is under treatment with a specialist of this procedure , they do not need implants their teeth. This was the statement of Dr. Levin who has worked with IRDA and he as published over 150 articles and book chapters on dentistry. Recently, I saw a articles from Indian Dentist Dr. Nikhil Sinha, who is running his dental clinic Dentistry-Redefined in Delhi, published a statement in his article about this theory in detail on this url http://www.dentistryredefined.com/health/not-needed-always-pricey-t...was not fully agreed with this statement. What You all think about this theory could you please share your suggestion about this who is correct in this…

As per my view dental implants is one of the good option for the patients who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason. The procedure of dental implant is a team effort between your dentist and your periodontist.
