The art of dentistry is not in replacing but in saving teeth. Biological and technological developments have certainly increased the number of implants being placed world-wide but has it improved predictability? Are implants superior to natural dentition? This lecture will focus on the merits of both conventional versus implant prosthesis and alternative treatment modalities such as periodontal surgeries to salvage natural dentition. It will compare long term outcomes of implants and conventional prosthodontics to enable clinicians to diversify treatment options.
