Addresses the common problem of deciding the optimal treatment plan for a debilitated tooth. Discusses the many factors involved in treatment planning for an endodontic treatment and heroic restorative attempt versus extraction and single tooth implant placement. Covers success and survival rates of endo treated teeth and single tooth implants as well as advantages and disadvantages of both options. Discusses factors affecting optimal outcomes and the current political "turf battle" over implant placement between general dentists, oral surgeons, periodontists and endodontists, and whether implantology should be recognized as a distinct dental specialty.

Endo vs extraction dilemma
Course is pertinent to so many cases lately; when to try saving a tooth vs when to relent and extract. Lots of older patients lately facing decisions based on age, finances and logistics.
