A lot of people think the abrasiveness of dry food cleans deposits from the teeth, thereby helping prevent periodontal disease, but more people are starting to dispute this.
One problem with cats is that they just don't drink a lot, even if thirsty. Feeding them dry food may not make them drink water, whereas wet food already has it in it.
However, cats love crunch. Cat's that hunt animals and birds crunch the bones, and it's part of their natural/evolutionary/biological make-up.
So put a bit of dry in with wet to give them the best of both worlds.
(If they eat it, that is!)
