Table 1 Advantages of ITR and dental implant

(1) Retention of natural tooth: Maintains proprioception, preserves gingival anatomy, and offers superior aesthetics.

(2) Direct vision operation with a relatively controllable prognosis.

(3) Lower treatment times and reduced economic costs.

(4) Even after failed ITR, implant restoration remains a viable option.

(1) Mature technology with established standards for diagnosis and treatment.

(2) Higher retention rate ( > 95%) for single dental implants compared to ITR (89%)⁵
