Abstract :
There is a substantial body of literature addressing tooth loss following root canal treatment and subsequent restoration with both direct and indirect methods. These studies include data on the survival of endodontically re-treated teeth, encompassing database analyses, prospective clinical trials, and longitudinal assessments based on full-mouth radiographs at different time intervals. Reported outcomes vary considerably, with database studies generally indicating lower survival rates compared to prospective investigations. Furthermore, recent evidence suggests that endodontically treated teeth may exhibit shorter survival times than single implants.
This presentation will provide a comprehensive review of the available data on the influence of restorative approaches on the survival of root canal–retreated teeth. It will also highlight the unexpected findings of a study currently under review, comparing “real-world” outcomes with results from controlled clinical trials.
Several factors influencing survival will be discussed, including the presence of cracks, the extent of tooth structure loss, the choice between direct and indirect restorations (partial or full coverage)
Learning objectives :
- to review of the available data on the influence of restorative approaches on the survival of root canal–retreated teeth.
- to appreciate the importance of the presence of cracks, and the extent of tooth structure loss,on the survival of root canal re-treated teeth
- to understand the differences between the factors affecting the survival rates of root canal treated and root canal re-treated teeth
