Abstract

Single residue root in maxillary anterior region is prevalent in dental implant clinic. Decision making on choosing post-core, immediate, early, or late implant for single maxillary anterior residue root is challenging. Although some guidelines have been proposed, the treatment approaches have been updated quickly and a number of evidence based clinical researches have been carried out, changing the views on each decision factor dramatically. It is of great necessity to summarize all the updated views and propose an updated decision tree. This review summarized the updated views on all relevant factors for single maxillary anterior residue root treatment decision-making and updated the decision concept based on the strength of evidences, and finally proposed a clear and feasible decision tree for the clinician's reference.
