Root amputation
From hopeless to hope
Keywords:
root amputation, hemisection, root resectionAbstract
Decision making in endodontic failure tooth between resective procedure or extraction with implant is still challenge for clinicians. The rising concern of the patients towards preserving the natural dentition may shift the clinicians towards Root resection, root amputations and hemisection. Proper case selection is the key to success of resective treatment. This case report describe and illustrates one of the treatment option that is root amputation in tooth with endodontic failure.
