What is the cost effectiveness of a single tooth implant vs 3U bridge?

Long term, when the conditions are favorable, proper bone density, hieght and width, proper biomechanical considerations, proper occlusal load…a dental implant is more cost effective over a 3 unit bridge. However….when the above conditions are not meet….the 3 unit bridge, with sufficient ferule, impressions taken with custom made tray and properly impressioned, properly articulated, preprosthetic endodontic treatment performed by an endodontist, core-restoration (not in composite)……will be more cost effective.
