Abstract
This case report highlights the successful preservation of a compromised dental bridge in a 35- year-old patient using a combined endodontic-periodontal approach. The decision to retain the bridge, rather than opting for extraction and implant placement, was influenced by the patient's age, ongoing bone remodelling dynamics, and preference for preserving natural tooth structure. Advanced diagnostic imaging, particularly cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), played a critical role in diagnosis and treatment planning. A multidisciplinary, patient-centered approach involving periodontists, endodontists, and restorative dentists ensured comprehensive care. The successful outcome underscores the importance of integrating conservative treatment modalities with advanced technology to achieve long-term success and patient satisfaction. This case aligns with the growing trend in dentistry to prioritize tooth preservation over more invasive procedures, particularly in younger patients.
