Clinicians are frequently facing the dilemma of whether to perform endodontic treatment in order to retain a necrotic tooth or to extract and replace it with a dental implant.. According to recent reviews, the long-term survival rates of sound or even compromised teeth surpassed those of oral implants (1, 2). During the last decade, the endodontic therapy has improved continuously due to modern equipment and high technology. A frequent issue was the long-term success rates, i.e. whether the implant is better than a tooth” or “the implant is a more reliable abutment”. . This paper will highlight two such encountered appropriate cases one which was restored endodontically and another with an implant.. References. 1. Holm-pedersen p, lang np, muller f.
