To Pull or Not To Pull

About this Seminar

What alternative treatment options should be considered when the “Initial” Endodontic (Surgical or Non-surgical) Failure occurs? With the introduction of new techniques and a systematic approach for the diagnosis and treatment of compromised teeth, the attendee will be able to more accurately determine the long term prognosis with multiple treatment options. Advancements in both surgical and non-surgical procedures have resulted in success rates that can be equivalent to the success rates for an implant replacement. The title of the presentation does not only involve teeth. We will also describe when it is ideal to remove an implant and approaches to reduce the incidence of peri-implantitis. Prosthetic and Surgical approaches for interdental papilla enhancement will be described. 

A description of a technique for previously thought of non-restorable teeth will be shown with long term positive results. Will also review how data from recent publications about hemisected and periodontally compromised teeth have been improved. A discussion about treatment planning with an emphasis on bone physiology and physics will be reviewed.
