Apicectomy vs dental implants – Irene Amrore addresses ADI Members

  Posted by: Dental Design      5th September 2021

Dr Irene Amrore is one of several ADI Webinar presenters to have created content for ADI members to access at their convenience. With regards to her session, entitled “Apicectomy or Implant: Should We Delay Implant Placement?”, she says:

“Where it is appropriate, an apicoectomy affords several key benefits. For example, it enables the clinician to conserve the natural tooth so that it might be kept by the patient for an unknown number of years. This, in turn, can delay the need for dental implants – a treatment that clinicians know is not without its own potential complications.

“I hope that colleagues will use the information explored to avoid extracting every tooth with apical pathology. Some teeth can be saved – if not for the remainder of the patient’s life, then for a few more years. It is still well worth the effort put in to conserve the tooth.”
