Statement of problem. Dentists and patients are regularly confronted by a difficult treatment question: should atooth be saved through root canal treatment and restoration (RCT), be extracted without any tooth replacement, be
replaced with a fixed partial denture (FPD) or an implant-supported single crown (ISC)?
Purpose. The purpose of this systematic review was to compare the outcomes, benefits, and harms of endodontic care and restoration compared to extraction and placement of ISCs, FPDs, or extraction without tooth replacement.
Material and methods. Searches performed in MEDLINE, Cochrane, and EMBASE databases were enriched by hand searches, citation mining, and expert recommendation. Evidence tables were developed following quality and inclusion
criteria assessment. Pooled and weighted mean success and survival rates, with associated confidence intervals,were calculated for single implant crowns, fixed partial dentures, and initial nonsurgical root canal treatments. Datarelated to extraction without tooth replacement and psychosocial outcomes were evaluated by a narrative review dueto literature limitations.
