CE / Dinner Meeting – Endodontic Treatment and Dental Implants: Evidence-Based Decision-Making in Clinical Practice

Course Title: Endodontic Treatment and Dental Implants: Evidence-Based Decision-Making in Clinical Practice

Speaker: Dr. Samer M. Ebeid, DDS

Course Description:

In the ever-evolving landscape of restorative dentistry, clinicians are frequently faced with the critical decision of whether to retain a natural tooth through endodontic therapy or to extract and replace it with a dental implant. This lecture is designed to guide dental professionals through an evidence-based, clinically grounded approach to treatment planning when choosing between endodontic treatment and implant placement.

The presentation will highlight the long-term success and predictability of modern endodontic therapy through real-world cases and clinical outcomes. Attendees will gain insight into how to critically evaluate the restorability and prognosis of compromised teeth, review key prognostic factors influencing both modalities, and apply current research to make informed, patient-centered treatment decisions.

Through a balanced, data-driven perspective, participants will leave with a clearer understanding of:

• The comparative success, survival, and complication rates of endodontically treated teeth versus dental implants.
• Clinical criteria to determine when to save a tooth or replace it.
• Risk assessment and patient-specific considerations influencing treatment choice.
• The role of interdisciplinary collaboration in achieving optimal outcomes.

Whether you’re a general practitioner or a specialist, this session aims to strengthen your diagnostic confidence, improve your treatment planning strategies, and reinforce the value of preserving the natural dentition when appropriate.
