Aim. The purpose of this study is to compare the success rates for root resection with the success rates achieved by implant therapy in the treatment of periodontally involved multirooted teeth. Methods. The studies which assessed the prognosis of hemisected molars and the studies which evaluated the results of molar position implants have been examined and compared. Results. The failure rate for root resections ranges from 0 to 38%; the failure rate for molar implants ranges from 0 to 10%. Conclusions. Although implants have achieved a high success rate, it is important to underline that the studies about implantology concern implants with single crowns in molar areas, that the implants placed with sinus graft have been left out and that the follow-up of implant therapy has been carried out over a shorter time. Moreover, the medical and legal considerations which may affect the dentist’s choice are not to be neglected.

Abstract

Aim. The purpose of this study is to compare the success rates for root resection with the success rates achieved by implant therapy in the treatment of periodontally involved multirooted teeth. Methods. The studies which assessed the prognosis of hemisected molars and the studies which evaluated the results of molar position implants have been examined and compared. Results. The failure rate for root resections ranges from 0 to 38%; the failure rate for molar implants ranges from 0 to 10%. Conclusions. Although implants have achieved a high success rate, it is important to underline that the studies about implantology concern implants with single crowns in molar areas, that the implants placed with sinus graft have been left out and that the follow-up of implant therapy has been carried out over a shorter time. Moreover, the medical and legal considerations which may affect the dentist’s choice are not to be neglected.
