Introduction: The choice between two methods of treatment, endodontic treatment and single tooth implants are very different in terms of design, success definition, evaluation methods, therapist and sample size. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical and radiographic results of single tooth implants versus endodontic treatment with post and crown restoration in patients referred to the School of Dentistry of Islamic Azad University of Isfahan.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional analytical study in the academic year 2021, 90 (46 females and 44 males) patients after recording demographic information and medical status, in three time periods after the end of treatment (under 3 years, 3 to 5 years and Over 5 years) were examined clinically and radiographically (periapical). Outcome of treatment was classified based on clinical and radiographic findings into three categories: successful, surviving and unsuccessful. Data were analyzed using Chi-squared test (α = 0.05).
Results: In this study, 60% of women and 40% of men had endodontic treatment and 42.2% of women and 57.8% of men had single tooth implants. There was no significant difference between the treatment outcomes in the studied groups (p value > 0.521). There was no statistically significant relationship between gender and type of treatment as well as gender and treatment satisfaction (p value > 0.05).
Conclusion: Considering the preservation of natural teeth, if possible, root canal treatment is the main treatment of choice, otherwise a single-tooth implant as a highly successful treatment can be a good alternative to missing or extracted teeth.
