Om Indlægget
Only a careful collection of anamnestic, clinical and radiographic data that lead to the compilation of a complete medical and dental record can allow to evaluate the prognosis of a periodontally involved tooth and to plan a rational treatment and rehabilitation project. The decision to extract a severely compromised tooth or not must go through a careful analysis of all treatment options, considering the cost-benefit ratio. The costs must be evaluated from both an economic and biological standpoint, while the benefits must be assessed based on scientific evidence and on a realistic assessment of one’s own clinical experience. Upstream of the decision-making process, it is appropriate, in complex cases, to have a clear treatment and rehabilitation plan, which allows a strategic assessment of the compromised elements to help the decision-making process. Only after the completion of this process will it be necessary to evaluate the most appropriate therapeutic procedure to change the prognosis of a compromised tooth in a positive way, carefully evaluating the probabilities of success and the risk factors involved
