Mastication is significantly stronger in endodontically treated teeth as compared to implants. Initial achievement rates after single tooth implants and endodontic microsurgery are similar the initial 2 to 4 years following medical procedure, however after this the achievement rate of endodontic microsurgery is decreased as compared to implantation. Socioeconomically, Caucasians and affluent patients will in general pick implant therapy, while African American and less affluent patients lean toward endodontic therapy.
Endodontically treated teeth have significantly less prerequisite for follow up treatment after final restoration, while implants need more appointments to finish treatment and more maintenance. To a degree, the criteria for progress because of the inherent contrasts in the procedure have historically restricted comparisons, with accomplishment of endodontic therapy defined as the absence of periapical lucency on radiography, or the absence of visible cavity at the root of the tooth on imaging. Implant achievement, on the other hand, is defined by osseointegration, or fusion of the implant to the adjacent maxilla or mandible.
