Tooth loss, regarded as an organ failure, is a core dispute in our profession, as it more often than not does not happen spon-taneously but is influenced by the dentist's treatment plan. Despite the prosthetic possibili-ties of tooth replacement, efforts should be made to preserve as many teeth as possible. Decisions between tooth preservation and extraction are complex and have far-reaching consequences. This article discusses this problem using a clinical case study of a 43-year-old female patient with pronounced localized periodontitis. After a comprehensive diagnosis and treatment planning, a daring regenerative therapy was carried out to try to preserve the tooth. The case shows that even seemingly hopeless teeth can be successfully treated syn-chronously using modern therapeutic approaches. Initial literature data supports the possi-bility of preserving severely compromised teeth in the long term in compliant patients. An integrative treatment approach based on individual patient factors and modern regenerative techniques may well be a viable alternative to tooth extraction and prosthetic restoration, albeit not inexpensive and uncomplicated. This communication emphasizes the need for precise diagnostics, a comprehensive treatment plan, and honest communication with pa-tients about the prospects of success and possible risks, and highlights the strengths of con-sistent tooth preservation.</p>","PeriodicalId":38153,"journal":{"name":"Swiss dental journal","volume":"134 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141898499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Instrumental texture analysis was uti-lized to assess the consistency and compressive strength of AU and GC during a 7-min chewing period. Subsequently, stimulated salivary flow rate (sSFR) was evaluated in healthy subjects using AU and GC over a 7-minute period. The compressive strengths from the pre-liminary test were compared over time with the sialometry data. Eighty-one test subjects, comprising 33 men and 48 women, participated. Over the 7-min measurement period, dif-ferences were observed in the total amount of saliva accumulated per minute. Direct com-parison of AU and GC revealed that regardless of age and gender, the amount of saliva formed after 1 min was 0.63 times less with AU than with GC (95% CI: 0.56 - 0.70; P < 0.001). The accumulated saliva volume with AU was also significantly lower than that with GC in the first 4 min (P = 0.016). However, from minute 5 onwards, the two products no longer showed statistical differences in the total amount of saliva. Comparison of the com-pressive strength of AU and GC showed that the values after 1 and 2 min were significantly higher for AU than for GC (P < 0.05); for all other time points, the compressive strength was higher for GC. In the mixed-effects model after log-transformation of compressive strength and saliva volume, GC exhibited decreasing saliva volumes with increasing compressive strength (P <0.001). Conversely, the opposite was observed for AU (P = 0.019).
