Bicuspidization: Conservation for Prevention
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medicine surgery and Radiology - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: The first teeth to erupt in oral cavity are mandibular molars having high caries susceptibility index, which actually necessitates cautious oral hygiene measures. Any deprivation in the maintenance may lead to serious problem like furcation involvement.Advances in dentistry, as well as the increased desire ofpatients to maintain their dentition, have lead to treatmentof teeth that once would have been removed. Case Report: Here is case report of 24 years old male patient reported with the complaint of pain and mobility of right mandibular first molar. On examination, the tooth was sensitive to percussion and revealed grade 1 mobility. On radiographic examination, bone loss was evident involving the furcation area. Root canal treatment was performed along with bicuspidization of tooth. Conclusion: Bicuspidization is a surgical procedure performed on the mandibular molars for the separation of the mesial and distal roots with their respective crown portions; this separation eliminates the existence of a furcation and facilitates effective oral hygiene practice.
