“…Because root resection is very technique sensitive and complex, proper case selection is essential [7]. In this case there was sufficient bone support around the remaining roots and sufficient coronal tooth structure as well, therefore, the treatment option of root resection followed by milled metal crown for providing support to the removable partial overdenture was selected.…”

An 80 year old male patient was referred to restorative postgraduate waiting list for replacement of missing maxillary posterior teeth affecting masticatory function. On further examination right maxillary second molar was diagnosed with vertical root fracture. The mesiobuccal root was resected and subsequently following healing a milled metal crown was cemented. The missing teeth were replaced with a removable partial overdenture.

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.

To assess the length and types of root trunk and length of root in a Saudi Population and to correlate the actual measurements with the CBCT measurements. A total of 206 molars were used in this study. CBCT were obtained and subsequently patients were subjected for extraction as the tooth were having poor prognosis. The measurements were carried out on CBCT by using the accompanying software and the actual measurements were carried out with a digital vernier caliper. The mean and SD scores were calculated for actual length of root trunk and length of root and from CBCT method in maxillary and mandibular 1st and 2nd molar in Type of root trunk. Then the actual and CBCT length of root trunk and length of root were compared dependent t test. The statistical signifi cance was set at 5% level of signifi cance (p<0.05). In maxillary arch, the type A root trunk was observed in 55.88% and 39.06%, type B in 44.11% and 59.37% of fi rst and second molars respectively. Type A root trunk was observed in 75.0 % and 55.18%, type B in 25.0% and 44.87% of mandibular fi rst and second molars respectively. The diff erence between the actual length and CBCT length of root trunk was statistically non-signifi cant (p>0.05) and no signifi cant diff erence is observed between actual length of root and length of root measured by CBCT (p>0.05). Knowledge of the types of root trunk type dimension may aid the dental practitioner in diagnosing and planning the treatment of molars with furcation involvement. CBCT may lend comparatively discriminative dimensions of the periodontal defect similar to that of actual measurements.
