Modern Dentistry offers sophisticated treatment options for individual patients and tooth. Prosthodontists face the difficult task of judging the influence and significance of multiple risk factors of periodontal, endodontic, or prosthetic origin that can affect the prognosis of an abutment tooth. The process for deciding when to restore or extract a tooth is often a "gray area" based mostly on clinical experience and rough predications on the long-term prognosis of the tooth in question. As a result, the clinician often makes decisions on "feelings" rather than clinical parameters. The restorative dentist may have placed all of the restorations on a particular tooth only to see them fail and ultimately need extraction. With the advent of widespread utilization of implants, the issue of retention of questionable teeth assumes a new dimension. The purpose of this review is to summarize the critical factors involved in deciding whether a questionable tooth should be treated and maintained, or extracted and possibly replaced by dental implants.
