When a patient says, “Wont a dental implant last longer?”

Sometimes the answer is ‘yes’ and sometimes ‘no’

It’s ever so important that patients understand the benefits of a periodontal ligament that is retained by having root canal treatment rather than extraction!!
This is so underestimated by patients and many many dentists.

Retaining a tooth by having root canal treatment means retaining the periodontal ligament.

Why is this important
- functioning on a tooth stimulates the ligament which then causes forces in the alveolar bone so that it remains in place.

- we’ve all seen full denture patients with resorbed ridges — this is a result of plastic plates compressing bone - compression causes Resorption- in the same way that wearing a ring on your finger also results in bone resorption over time !

The tension that functioning on a tooth creates maintains bone!
