Endodontics & Implants, discovering the potential of each side
Actual controversy between endo and implant therapy is normally produced by the clinician’s lack of information about the potential and limitations of each therapy can offer for the final benefits of the patient.

Facing an endodontic failure, the first step to take is the non-surgical retreatment, but when apex cannot be attained from the crown, it can be accessible surgically with periapical microsurgery with much great accuracy than in the past. Intentional replantation is chosen when periapical microsurgery cannot be used. These strategies are presented along with the operative microscope, new armamentarium and biomaterials.
Nevertheless, when a few teeth can not be saved or must be extracted urgently, like in vertical root fracture cases, clinician must use the actual technology to identify in advance the different bone defects he will encounter, the scientific knowledge of when and how to use periodontal bone regeneration techniques and the surgical skills to apply them in order to give the patient the best treatment option available. Different treatment options for less and more advanced surgically experienced clinicians in fenestrations, dehiscences, infrabony and combined bone defects are presented in detail.
