ABSTRACT
The literature indicates that high survival and success rates can be achieved with compromised teeth if they supported by appropriate maintenance. If the teeth are severely compromised and not treated this may allow an area to worsen to the time that insertion of an implant is no longer a realistic option. This means that the dentist should identify teeth that appear to have a more favorable treatment outcome, as opposed to those more severely compromised by disease, and weigh the chance success of periodontal therapy and maintenance versus the extraction and implant insertion when establishing a prognosis to compromised teeth. Stage I and stage II periodontitis have good, fair prognosis respectively. In stage III periodontitis the prognosis might be poor prognosis when the radiographic bone loss and/or the furcation involvement is class II, but the prognosis in stage III maybe become questionable when the bone loss exceeds 50% and the furcation involvement is class III. In stage IV if Mobility ≥ grade 2 and/or the bone loss exceed 50% and/or the systemic factors uncontrolled, the prognosis will be hopeless.
