In reality, each case has different factors which determine what kind of a restoration should be placed. The final treatment outcome can be seen in Figures 11-12
A complex situation like this may have an obvious diagnosis, but the treatment planning can be quite veritable. The following questions for example may be considered:
- Is an implant (artificial root) a viable alternative?
- What are the pros and cons of placing an implant?
- Is a root canal therapy needed to save a tooth?
- What about a fixed bridge?
Last but not least : What influences the treatment plan? An insurance network policy or the dentist and the patient?
