Description: The posterior regions of the mouth often require the replacement of a single tooth. The first molars are the first permanent teeth to erupt in the mouth and unfortunately are often the first teeth to be lost as a result of tooth decay. Despite some limitations and clinical challenges, the single tooth implant represents a highly desirable and justified treatment option with many advantages. These advantages are so significant to the health and periodontal condition of the adjacent teeth and maintenance of the arch for, that the single tooth implant has become the treatment of choice in most situations.
Learning Objectives: Upon completion of this lecture, the enrollee should be able to:
1.Establish the survival rate of the most common procedures to replace posterior missing teeth.
2.Learn the survival rate of the adjacent teeth when a posterior restoration is provided to patients.
3.Realize the cause of prosthesis failure and to treatment plan the posterior region for missing teeth, using evidence-based methods.
