ABSTRACT
The primary goal of dentistry is to preserve and restore natural dentition to normal functional state. When teeth are lost or damaged beyond repair, it can lead to both functional and aesthetic concern. Teeth replacement is needed to restore function, improve appearance and maintain oral health by preventing bone loss. Endodontic implants have emerged as an innovative solutions to certain challenges, offering patients an alternative to traditional tooth extraction and full dental implants. Endodontic implants focus on restoring a tooth from within, specifically within the root canal after it has undergone endodontic treatment. This approach not only preserves more of the natural teeth but also provides a functional, aesthetic restoration for patients suffering from severe tooth decay, trauma, or failed root canal treatments.
