Root resection and PRF as an alternative treatment option: A case report

Abstract

Periodontal and endodontic tissue structures are closely related odontogenic, which promotes spread of infection. But the desire of patients to maintain their dentition enforce and encourage the dentist to conserve the tooth. In past tooth with severe bone loss and endodontically compromised, resective surgery was employed but today regenerative therapy has potential to restore lost structure esthetically and functionally. In the clinical case presented in this paper, there was bone loss on the site and successful healing was obtained by doing endodontic treatment and using PRF.
