Description
Clinicians are confronted with difficult decisions regarding whether a tooth with pulpal and/or periapical disease should be saved through endodontic treatment or be extracted and replaced with an implant. This lecture will review the endodontic and implant literature as well as the related factors that need to be considered by the clinician affecting decision making for their patients.
Upon completion of this presentation, participants should be able to: 1) explain the endodontic and implant literature in regards to outcomes assessment; 2) describe all factors when deciding whether teeth with pulpal/periapical disease should be endodontically treated or extracted and replaced with an implant; and 3) identify the invasive techniques that can be used to reduce the number of unnecessary extractions.
