Abstract:
Many partially dentate dentitions are now being restored using dental implants; but assessment of endodontically treated teeth adjacent to the proposed implant sites has seldom been reported. Assessment criteria are given for sound- and endodontically compromised teeth to ensure adequate preimplant preventive and restorative treatment and to minimize the chances of failure of dental implants adjacent to these teeth. Cases are used to illustrate pitfalls in the treatment planning process.
