Peak Fellowship Summit: Endo or Extract? Making the Right Call

This is a familiar dilemma for many clinicians: to preserve a tooth through endodontic and restorative care, or to remove it and replace it with a dental implant. In some cases, the answer feels clear. In others, it becomes far less certain.

This Circle brings clinicians together for an honest, case-based discussion on one of the most common yet complex decisions in dentistry: endodontic treatment vs. extraction. Beyond textbook indications, real-world decisions are influenced by biology, restorability, patient expectations, long-term prognosis, and even our own experiences and biases.

Through interactive discussion of actual cases, participants will explore how to evaluate each scenario critically, identifying when endodontic therapy offers predictable success and when extraction may be the more appropriate path.

This collaborative conversation is designed to challenge thinking, share perspectives, and refine clinical judgment.
