The Dilemma of The Missing Anterior Single Tooth

- Restorative Parameters

Shankar Iyer DDS, MDSAsst. Clinical Professor, AEPP, NYU, UMDNJ

“ It is what we know that prevents us from learning more”

Albert Einstein

Clinical ScenariosThe Missing Single anterior tooth:• Congenitally missing anterior tooth

Clinical ScenariosThe Missing Single anterior tooth:• Past Perio/Endo involved partial edentulism

Clinical Scenarios

The Endodontically involved tooth:• The non-restorable fractured incisor

The OptionsRemovable Partial Denture

OptionsFixed Partial Denture

OptionsImplant Supported Crown

OptionsNo Treatment

Evidence For Single Tooth Implants“Although posterior single-tooth replacement is a relatively new treatmentalternative, many studies have been published since 1990, and survivalrates reported range from a low of 94.6% to a high of 100% for a 1 to 15 years. 35-45”

Misch CE, Contemporary Implant Dentistry III Ed. 2008 Mosby pp 7

Evidence Based Decision• “Systematic Review of The Scientific Literature failed to

demonstrate any direct comparative studies assessing clinical performance of single implant-supported crowns and tooth-supported fixed partial dentures”

“While Single Crowns on vital teeth have the best prognosis, those on endodontically treated teeth have a slightly poorer prognosis over 10 years. Crowns on teeth with posts and cores and implant-supported Single Crowns

displayed the highest incidence of (biologic and technical) failures and complications”
