Root canal treatment and dental implants are both viable treatment options for replacing missing or compromised teeth. Success rates of each treatment are generally high, ranging from 92-97% for root canals and 95-99% for implants. Other factors beyond success rates must be considered, including patient characteristics, habits, concerns, and costs. Overall, both treatments can successfully restore oral function but root canals may involve fewer complications and costs compared to implants. The decision requires weighing risks and benefits based on the individual clinical situation.

Treatment of Patients With Congenitally Missing Lateral Incisors: Is an Inter...Abu-Hussein Muhamad
Congenitally missing teeth are frequently presented to the dentist. Interdisciplinary approach may be needed for the proper treatment plan. The available treatment modalities to replace congenitally missing teeth include prosthodontic fixed and removable prostheses, resin bonded retainers, orthodontic movement of maxillary canine to the lateral incisor site and single tooth implants. Dental implants offer a promising treatment option for placement of congenitally missing teeth. Interdisciplinary approach may be needed in these cases. This article aims to present a case report of replacement of bilaterally congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisors with dental implants.

Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

4. Introduction
One of the goals of a successful traditional dental practice has been the preservation
and rehabilitation of a patient’s natural dentition
Endodontic treatment has played a key role in the retention and restoration of teeth
affected by pulp and/or periapical pathosis.
Currently, the extraction of natural teeth has generally been considered undesirable
and as a treatment choice of last resort when there are financial considerations and
limited restorative options
Clinicians frequently face the dilemma of whether to endodontically treat and retain a
questionable tooth or to extract and potentially replace it with a dental implant.
John et al., 2007; Morris et al., 2009
5. • Relief of pain = symptom free
•To render the affected tooth biologically acceptable and functioning without a

DECISION MAKING: IMPLANT OR ROOT CANAL TREATMENT
10. There are different schools of thought on retention of natural tooth with endodontic treatment and
conventional prosthodontic rehabilitation or to extract and replace it with an implant-retained prosthesis.
The argument favoring endodontic treatment relies on advances in the following factors:
• Advances in instrumentation and materials
• Greater predictability
• Cost-efficient compared to implants
• More conservative and less invasive
• Success rate is more compared to implants
11. In contrast, arguments favoring the implant placement focus on the following:
• The poor outcomes of endodontic treatment when compared to implant “success” rates of over
90%
• Concerns over the structural durability of a weakened endodontically treated tooth to support a
coronal restoration
• An implant fixture is seen as a better foundation for restorative dentistry than an endodontically
treated tooth

An Important Dilemma in Treatment Planning: Implant or Endodontic Therapy?

13. SURVIVAL RATES
Survival rates of endodontic treatment and implant placement are generally taken into
account while choosing whether to extract or retain a compromised tooth.
One of the primary reasons for the variability of reported outcomes is the inconsistent definition of
success in the evaluation criteria.
Success in endodontics is very different from success for implants. The endodontic studies have
applied strict definitions of success based on clinical and/or radiographic criteria (i.e., absence of apical
radiolucency, looseness, and reduction in size of radiolucency) (Ng et al., 2007)
while implant studies have considered an implant to be successful if it is functional and present in the
mouth without definite signs of absolute failure, such as peri-implant radiolucency or implant mobility
(Doyle et al., 2006)
14. Implant studies generally report procedures completed by specialists,
while many endodontic studies involve work performed by students or
general dentist (Cheung, 2002; Salehrabi & Rotstein 2004; Alley et al.,
2004; White et al., 2006; Cohn, 2005; Trope, 2005).
The average survival rate of teeth that are endodontically treated by a
general dentist is ~89.7% after 5 years; if the treatment is performed by a
specialist, the survival rate increases to 98.1% (Alley et al., 2004)
15. PATIENT FACTORS
when designing a dental treatment plan, a patient’s expectations may bear
more important than the clinical factors.
If an extraction is indicated for a tooth after the initial clinical examination,
but the patient wants to save it, the decision can be made to save the tooth;
however, the patient should be informed about the possible consequences
and potential risks associated with this decision (Avila et al., 2009).
Other factors that should be considered include the dental history, the cultural
implications of the tooth loss, and the quality of life that such treatment would
produce (Bader, 2001, 2002; Tang & Naylor, 2005; Torabinejad & Goodacre,
2006; White et al., 2006; Cohn, 2005; Christensen, 2006)
16. • PATIENT’S AGE : In young people, implants are contraindicated until the growth
phase is completed because the fixture will ankylose, resulting in infraocclusion
• However, endodontic treatment can be applied to patients in every age group
• the patient’s health condition is also an important factor when deciding between
implant and endodontic therapy
17. Diabetes mellitus is often accompanied with systemic adverse sequelae, such as
wound healing alterations, which may affect the osseointegration of dental
implants or healing of periapical lesions.
In one study, patients with diabetes showed a reduced likelihood of endodontic
success, especially in cases with preoperative periradicular lesions (Fouad &
Burleson, 2003)
18. Parafunctional habits of patients (such as bruxism) should also be
addressed when choosing the appropriate treatment for patients
(Cohn, 2005; Christensen, 2006).
Because implants lack a periodontal ligament, they are at risk of
damage from extreme mechanical forces developed as a result of
parafunctional habits
19. DURATION OF TREATMENT
When the time for completion of treatment was evaluated
as the time from the beginning of the treatment until time
to function, implant treatment had a longer time-to-
function than endodontic therapy (Doyle et al., 2006).
20. ESTHETIC CONCERNS
When the potential for esthetic acceptability appears to be questionable with
the planned implants and restorative therapy or especially in instances where
the esthetic outcome is extremely important for the patient, retention of the
affected tooth may be a better choice
It has been stated that esthetic failures in implant dentistry are known to
outnumber mechanical failures, especially in the anterior dentition
Endodontics or implants? A review of decisive riteria and guidelines for single tooth
restorations and full arch reconstructions N. U. Zitzmann, G. Krastl, H. Hecker, C. Walter
& R. Weiger 2009
21. FINANCIAL STATUS
The financial factor may influence the decision-making process for both
clinicians and patients.
An implant-supported crown costs about twice that of an endodontically
treated tooth restored with a crown.
From an economic standpoint, endodontic treatment might be a more
favorable treatment option than implant-supported crowns
22. CLINICIAN’S PROFICIENCY AND PREFERENCE
The decision to restore a diseased tooth with endodontic treatment or
to extract the tooth and replace it with implant restoration might be
influenced by the clinician’s proficiency and clinical background
If a clinician believes that he/she is unable to save a tooth, tooth
extraction and future prosthetic replacement will most likely be
recommended
23. RISK FACTORS AND/OR COMPLEXITY OF EACH TREATMENT MODALITY
Treatment of a compromised tooth requires the consideration of
prosthodontic factors such as the extent of caries, crown-root ratio,
and dentinal wall thickness
endodontic factors including root canal anatomy, periapical pathology,
cause of primary failure in cases of retreatment, and the presence of
root resorption or root fracture
periodontal factors such as mobility and furcation problems
24. If the longevity of a conserved tooth as related to these factors is
questionable, the extraction of the tooth may sometimes be a better
alternative than leaving the tooth in the mouth.
The type of restorations used for endodontically treated teeth and the
quality of the coronal seal may have a greater impact on the long-term
retention of treated teeth than the endodontic treatment itself
25. It should be considered that endodontically treated teeth are
associated with less complications and procedural interventions than
implant-supported crowns and that complications associated with
implant failure significantly impact a patient more negatively than
when endodontically treated teeth fail (Morris et al., 2009).
While making a decision as to whether to retain and restore or to
replace a tooth, the restorative prognosis of the tooth and the physical
loading characteristics that it will be endured must also be kept in
mind.

SUCCESS CRITERIA FOR ROOT CANAL TREATED (RCT) TEETH AND IMPLAN
27. Dental implants vs. root canal treatment - Success rates.
Proving which of these two options is best is somewhat difficult. After all, if one
treatment has been performed, it's impossible to know what the outcome of the other
would have been.
However, when the success rate of each alternative is considered independently, it's
easier to come up with an answer. And, in general, dental research has shown
that both treatment approaches can make an excellent choice.
28. What does dental research show?
Endosseous implants versus non-surgical root canal therapy: A systematic review
of the literature." (Blicher 2018)
This paper reviewed published research studies that either ...
Evaluated the survival rate of teeth that had received root canal treatment.
Or evaluated the success or failure of dental implant placement.
Its findings were ...
The success rate for root canal treatment ranged between 92 and 97% (over a
time frame of four to eight years)
The success rate for dental implants ranged between 95 and 99% (over a time
frame of two to six years).
These results suggest that the overall success rate of either treatment approach is
fairly similar
29. what are the differences in outcomes of restored endodontically treated
teeth compared to implant-supported restorations?" (Iqbal 2017)
This study, which was also a literature review, took into consideration 55 research
papers evaluating dental implants and 13 root canal treatment. It came to the
conclusion that no significant differences in survival rates existed between the two
approaches.
It continued by stating that the decision for implant placement or root canal therapy
(including the placement of an appropriate dental restoration afterward) needs to be
based on factors other than just the statistical analysis of predicted treatment
outcome.
In combination, the findings of both the Blicher and Iqbal literature reviews suggest
that both treatment options can provide a successful outcome.
Iqbal M, Kim S. What are the differences in outcomes of restored endodontically treated teeth compared to implant-supported
restorations. Int J Oral Maxillofac Implants. 2017;22(Suppl):96-116.
30. If the success rates are similar, what other factors need to be considered?
The fact that either root canal treatment or the placement of a dental implant
can be expected to provide an excellent end result suggests that the decision
between the two will need to hinge on other factors.
These include:
Case selection. (How closely the patient's pre-treatment situation conforms to
the ideal
Issues associated with specific patient characteristics, habits or concerns.
Overall treatment cost or expected cost-effectiveness. This is an important factor because
completing full treatment is a necessary part of insuring a procedure's expected success
(especially root canal).
31. DIABETES
Diabetic patients in both endodontic and implant group
had more failure when compared with non diabetic
patients
SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS
Patients from higher socioeconomic group received
implant therapy (>2.4 times)than from lower SES group
AGE
Older patients- higher risk of Implant and RCT failures
REGION OF INTEREST
Patients who had done implant in maxillary and
mandibular posterior tooth had more failures than RCT
done in same location. SMOKING
Smokers in endodontic group have less failure than
implant group .Similarly in endodontic and implant groups
smokers had more failure than non smokers .

33. Are there more complications in implants? (Doyle, et al., 2016), reported that dental implants had
a 5 x greater number of complications compared to restored RCT teeth.
Do outcome assessments reflect technology in evolution? Evidence that with new technology,
advancement in electronic apex locators, operating microscopes & materials such as therma-
fill,gutta-percha core and MTA, these all have improved the safety and accuracy of RCT. (Toskos
& DiBernardo, 2013)
If apical periodontitis persists or develops after root canal treatment then what treatment
procedure should be recommended? Reported radiographic success rates of studies with modern
microscopic surgical endodontic procedures often are greater than 90%. (Stoumza, 2015)
34. Is RCT preferred in patients with poor quality of bone?
Quality of bone is an important consideration when treatment planning for implants (Mombelli
& Cionca, 2016).
(Christensen, 2016), advised that if bone density/area is problematic or there are anatomical
structures present, then RCT should be considered.
35.
36. Bone healing around modern implants follows established sequence of
events and results in predictable osseointegration.
In a healing bone wound, fibroblast-like osteogenic progenitor cells
differentiate into osteoblasts and start to deposit woven bone that
gradually grows towards the implant surface.
Wound healing around dental implants
Cristina C. Villar,Guy Huynh-Ba,Michael P. Mills,David L. Cochran
Wound healing around dental implants
During 1–3 months of healing, this woven bone
is replaced by lamellar bone with increasing bone
to implant contact that allows functional loading
of the implant.
37. As a clinical application, implant stability is initially decreased up
to three weeks due to bone remodeling and followed by an
increase to the baseline at 4–5 weeks and then reaching
plateau in 8 weeks.
Regardless of this remodeling, studies have shown that
implants can be successfully loaded immediately after
placement although with somewhat reduced survival rates.
Development of new implant surfaces has played a critical role
in expanding these clinical loading protocols.
38. Conclusion
Patient’s preference is of fundamental importance. Some patients prefer not to
have extractions at all costs while others avoid high-risk treatments and prefer
low risk options.
It is the dentists responsibility to involve them in treatment planning by
explaining the prognosis of keeping the tooth, costs of treatment and other
treatment options to the patients from a professional point of view

STEPS IN HEALING OF SECONDARY WOUND: Initial haemorrhage: as a result of injury the wound space is filled with blood and fibrin clot which dries. Inflammatory phase: there is initial acute inflammatory response followed by appearance of macrophages which clear off the debris. Epithelial changes: the epidermal cells from both the margins proliferate and migrate into the wound till they meet in the middle and re- epithelialise the gap completel
