Abstract

The increased desire of patients to maintain their dentition has forced dental specialist to conserve the teeth in the mouth which are planned to be removed. In the light of this finding it is known that periodontally compromised teeth with severe bone loss at furcation area or endodontically compromised teeth may well be retained of their roots. This type of surgical therapy enables clinicians to better access the remaining tooth structure for periodontal and subsequent prosthetic therapy. In this case report palatal root resection of the right first maxillary molar with a simple procedure is presented along with a brief review of root resection as a treatment modality.
