Root Amputation: Practical Way to Salvage Compromise Tooth - A Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
Advances in dentistry, as well as the increased desire of patients to maintain their dentition, have led to treatment of teeth that once would have been extracted. The treatment may involve combining restorative dentistry, endodontics and periodontics so that the teeth are retained in whole or in part. The term tooth resection denotes the excision and removal of any segment of the tooth or a root with or without its accompanying crown portion. Various resection procedures described are: root amputation, hemisection, radisection and bisection. Root amputation refers to removal of one or more roots of multirooted tooth while other roots are retained. This case report illustrates determination of prognosis and immediate resection carried out, after completing the endodontic therapy, during the surgery employed for managing a non periodontal problem. This case report demonstrates root amputation procedure, carried out on maxillary right first molar for eliminating the cause for root caries on mesiobuccal root to salvage the remaining portion of a strategically important tooth structure. Keywords:Mesiobuccal root, root caries, root resection, root amputation
