Saving Teeth or Replacing with Implant: An Endodontist's Viewpoint

​

AGD Subject Code: 070

​

Description:

The goal in Endodontics is to save the teeth for the matter of esthetics and function. However, one of the current controversies in dentistry is when to retain a compromised tooth with root canal treatment or when to extract and replace it with an implant. Systemic and local factors, patient’s concerns and preferences, esthetics, treatment duration, cost, and future complications should be considered in the decision-making process. Furthermore, clinician’s background, skill, and the way the options are presented to patients would be influential.

 

Several compromised cases will be presented at this webinar.

 

At the end of this webinar the audiences have learnt more about;

 

1. The meaning of success rate and survival rate in Endodontics and implant dentistry.

2. The factors and diagnostic tools to consider for saving or extraction of teeth.

3. The cases that extraction will be inevitable.
