Through clinical and laboratory research, the survival, durability, and mechanical performance of these restorations are evaluated.

The loss of chewing function has many more consequences than one might initially think.

With this in mind, preserving natural teeth is important, and it is unwise to choose implants in the first instance if a compromised tooth can be saved with some effort or chewing function can be restored with bridges on natural teeth. Options differ on this question: should implants be considered the 'holy grail' or a last resort?
