To Pull or Not to Pull:
Periapical Surgery vs. Implant Replacement
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
What alternative treatment options should be considered when a restorative and/or endodontic failure occurs?
Advancements in delivering periapical surgery have resulted in success rates that can be equivalent to implant replacement when certain guidelines are adhered to. Periapical surgery as an adjunct to endodontic treatment is a proven approach. With the introduction of new surgical techniques and a systematic method to the diagnosis and treatment of compromised teeth, the clinician should be able to more accurately determine the long-term prognosis for these treatment options.
This course will describe the indications and contraindications for performing or referring a patient for apical surgery. With a specific 7 step workup, including a correct history, radiographic and clinical evaluation, the decision to perform an apicoectomy will be weighed against further evaluation, a re- treatment option, or extraction and replacement with an implant (immediate or delayed). As a result, a decision is more accurately made as to whether an implant or a fixed bridge (fixed partial prosthesis), a removable prosthesis (fixed or transitional temporary prosthesis), or other options would be the final treatment plan discussed with the patient.
We will evaluate treatment options with an evidence-based approach when a tooth is ailing or failing. We will also discuss CBCT analysis for treatment planning as well as offering multiple unique treatment options for dental implant treatment planning that can be utilized for compromised and difficult cases.
