Abstract

Introduction: The purpose of dentistry is to preserve dental organs, lack of oral health care can have several consequences, such as loss of dental organs due to caries or dental trauma. In such cases, endodontic treatment or even extraction and implant is required.
Objective: The objective of the study was to comparatively analyze the prognosis of success and survival of endodontically treated teeth and implants by means of a literature review.
Methods: In the present study, a literature review was carried out in the databases Google Scholar; Scielo; Scopus and PubMed to determine the percentage values of success and survival of endodontic treatments and dental implants. Twenty articles were selected, of which 10 were included to obtain the results. It was a cross-sectional, retrospective, observational study.
Results: Due to the existence of multiple evaluation criteria for these procedures, it was determined that it is not possible to speak clearly of success. Endodontic treatment had a 81.5% success rate and 81.4% survival rate at a follow-up of 5 to 20 years. Dental implant treatment showed 83.91% success, 93.73% survival at a follow-up time of 2 to 13.6 years.
Conclusion: A direct comparison between dental implant and endodontic treatment was not possible due to differences in design and content of data collected between studies. Follow-up time was found to be author dependent and can vary from approximately 2 to 20 years.
