Implants have helped us restore situations that were not easily restorable in the past.

However, with over 30 years of retrospective knowledge of implant dentistry, we now know more than ever about what works long term.

In this module, Frank discusses five cases where a decision to remove and place an implant or to retain a questionable tooth is the immediate concern, and then shows the long-term results of the decisions.

Learning Objectives:

When to remove a damaged or diseased tooth and when to retain
Implants in the periodontal patient
Fractured teeth: remove or retain
