Endodontics and Implants – The Endodontic Perspective
Topic:Learning Objectives:
- Compare endodontic and implant studies according to success and survival rates.
- Describe the importance of an interdisciplinary treatment planning approach.
- Discuss whether to endodontically treat a tooth or extract and place an implant.
Many practitioners face the decision of when to treat a tooth endodontically or when to extract it and place an implant. This lecture discusses the new role of endodontics in an era that is more and more shaped by implant supported dentistry. It reviews changes in the treatment spectrum for endodontists and general dentists and provides evidence based data for a sound decision making between a natural tooth and a dental implant. The lecture evaluates success versus survival of implants in single tooth and fixed partial denture restorations and endodontically treated and restored teeth. Treatment planning issues are discussed based on cases from the endodontist’s, periodontist’s and restorative dentist’s perspective. At conclusion, participants should be able to compare the differences between tooth or implant supported treatment planning, make an educated decision between endodontic treatment options and tooth extraction followed by a dental implant and understand the importance of an interdisciplinary treatment planning approach.
1-2 hour lecture.
