Nowadays there is a tendency among clinicians to consider implants as the best solution after tooth extraction, in cases of teeth with a questionable prognosis. However, the value of the natural tooth must be considered, as the proprioception of the periodontal ligament is preserved, and it adapts to stress during functional loads. We first review the literature focusing on analyzing the factors that should guide decision-making to maintain or extract a tooth with a compromised periodontium. Then, we propose a schematic diagram of prognostic indicators to reflect the main factors to consider and the survival rate that each one represents when preserving or extracting a tooth.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm11185301","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,8]],"date-time":"2022-09-08T20:50:27Z","timestamp":1662670227000},"page":"5301","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Compromised Teeth Preserve or Extract: A Review of the Literature"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Valentina","family":"C\u00e1rcamo-Espa\u00f1a","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (Dentistry), University of Barcelona Dental Hospital, University of Barcelona, 08907 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nataly","family":"Cuesta Reyes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (Dentistry), University of Barcelona Dental Hospital, University of Barcelona, 08907 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Flores Saldivar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (Dentistry), University of Barcelona Dental Hospital, University of Barcelona, 08907 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eduardo","family":"Chimenos-K\u00fcstner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Odontostomatology and Oral Medicine, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (Dentistry), University of Barcelona Dental Hospital, University of Barcelona, 08907 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8430-3380","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alberto","family":"Estrugo Devesa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Odontostomatology and Oral Medicine, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (Dentistry), University of Barcelona Dental Hospital, University of Barcelona, 08907 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8035-4412","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9","family":"L\u00f3pez-L\u00f3pez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Odontostomatology and Oral Medicine, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (Dentistry), University of Barcelona Dental Hospital, University of Barcelona, 08907 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"143","article-title":"Edentulism as part of the general health problems of elderly adults","volume":"60","author":"Polzer","year":"2010","journal-title":"Int.
