Summary
Root canal treatment and single tooth implants show similar failure rates. However, implants had more complications and a longer time to function, suggesting careful patient selection is crucial for dental restoration success.
Area of Science:
- Dental science
- Restorative dentistry
- Oral surgery
Background:
- Root canal treatment and single tooth implants are common restorative options.
- Reported success rates for each modality vary.
- Understanding comparative outcomes is essential for clinical decision-making.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare the outcomes of root canal treatment versus single tooth implants.
- To evaluate success, survival, and failure rates for both treatment modalities.
- To identify factors influencing treatment outcomes.
Main Methods:
- A comparative study involving 145 implant restorations and 176 root canal treated teeth.
- Outcomes assessed included success, survival, and failure.
- Data analysis considered restoration location and postoperative complications.
Main Results:
- Success rates were 75.56% for root canal treatment and 80.00% for implants.
- Failure rates were comparable: 6.25% for root canal treatment and 8.27% for implants.
- Implants demonstrated a longer time to function and more postoperative complications.
Conclusions:
- Restored endodontically treated teeth and single tooth implants have similar failure rates.
- Implant restorations may require longer functional time and have a higher incidence of complications.
- Treatment choice should consider individual patient factors and potential complications.
