Description: “Do we hold it or fold it?” This is the decision that clinicians make almost on a daily basis and is usually influenced from one’s background, beliefs, and opinion. Some erroneously believe that all teeth can and should be saved. Whereas others conversely think that questionable teeth should always be removed and replaced with an implant. In this lecture, we will explore criteria that help us understand the long term prognosis of teeth and implants, why one would want to choose to save or extract a tooth, and the complications of each modality.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the rationale behind when to save a tooth or replace it with an implant.
- List the complications in compromised implants and compromised teeth.
- Be able to formulate a working clinical philosophy on the restoration of teeth or their removal with replacements with dental implants.
