What should be the practical criteria and systematic process to aid the treatment planning decision of whether to preserve teeth by root canal treatment (RCT) or extract and provide an implant.
I feel extraction is the last option. I have another view. Can a natural extracted tooth (Without Carious Lession but extracted because of complete loss of periodontal attachment and 3rd grade mobility) be implanted in place of metalic implants?
My study on intentional replants of 465 cases that I carried out in my Clinic, over a period of 25 -26 years, suggests that an Intentionally Replanted Tooth has a pretty long life and provides a cheaper and more assured acceptance than a metal implant. Results are visible after 3-4 weeks.
