| Summary: | Introduction:
Initial root canal treatment and the replacement of a single tooth with implants are both viable treatment options, but various success rates have been reported for each treatment modality.
Materials and Methods:
This study compared 145 implant and 176 root canal treatment teeth in patients for four possible outcomes- success, survival, and failure.
Results:
Outcomes were as follows for root canal treatment and implant outcomes, respectively: success 75.56% and 80.00%; survival 18.18% and 11.72%; and failure 6.25% and 8.27%. The location of the restoration in the mouth did not affect the outcome.
Conclusion:
This study suggests that restored endodontically treated teeth and single tooth implant restorations have similar failure rates, although the implant group showed a longer average and median time to function and a higher incidence of postoperative complications requiring subsequent treatment intervention. |
