Why bother saving teeth in the dental implant era?
Perio-prosthetic implant treatment plan is gaining popularity with high perceived survival and success rates. Replacing a tooth with an implant is usually based on tooth prognosis evaluation and its comparison to the anticipated long-term implant survival. Different approaches for determining tooth prognosis were described in the literature. Over the past decade, the use of osseointegrated implants as a foundation for prosthetic replacement of missing teeth has become widespread. However, there is an increasing trend toward replacing diseased teeth with dental implants. In dental trauma patients, it seems that a lot of efforts are sometimes needed to save or preserve a tooth and it is tempting to turn to implant placement. This lecture will provide a re-evaluation of our paradigms, beliefs and knowledge regarding both tooth prognosis evaluation and long-term implant success according to the currently available knowledge.
We, as dental professionals, should avoid basing our treatment planning on thoughts and beliefs and stick as much as possible to evidence based practice.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- To understand the prognostic systems for teeth and implants.
- To explore treatment alternatives for periodontal patients and post-traumatic tooth injuries
- To be able to apply Evidence-Based approach to determine best treatment options
