On a regular basis in practice, clinicians are faced with patient presentations that go beyond the simple decision of, does a tooth need a restoration or not? Those more difficult decisions often involve the decision to retain and restore a questionable tooth or teeth, or extract and place an implant. This presentation will focus on the potential advantages long term of retaining and restoring, especially in young patients. Long term clinical examples and literature support will be presented for the different clinical presentations shown.
Learning Objectives:
An algorithm of key questions to ask when deciding whether to retain and restore vs remove and replace.
What the literature states the long-term success rates are for different conditions that appear questionable or hopeless.
How the age of the patient impacts the treatment decision of whether to retain and restore vs remove and replace, the concept of “Management vs Cure”.
The importance of looking forward to, “What is next”, and how that can impact the choice of what to do now.
