Research shows that preserving a natural tooth can have long-term benefits when the tooth is suitable for treatment. A 2024 systematic review and meta-analysis found that root-filled posterior teeth had pooled survival rates of approximately 91% at 4–7 years and 87% at 8–20 years.
Of course, every tooth is different. Factors such as the amount of healthy tooth structure remaining, cracks, periodontal health, and the final restoration can all influence the long-term outcome.
That’s why treatment decisions shouldn’t be based on pain alone. A proper dental assessment can help determine whether a tooth may be suitable for preservation and what treatment approach is appropriate for your individual situation.
