    A fractured molar root disappeared during extraction and was later sought using oral radiology. This case highlights the importance of thorough root retrieval and diagnostic imaging in dental procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Oral Radiology

    Background:

    • A patient underwent extraction of a maxillary first molar.
    • The distobuccal root fractured during the procedure and remained in the alveolus.

    Observation:

    • Attempts to retrieve the fractured root were unsuccessful, and it seemingly disappeared.
    • A three-unit bridge was placed, leaving the root's location unknown.

    Findings:

    • The patient was referred for oral radiology to locate the lost root.
    • Radiological imaging was requested to identify the displaced root fragment.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the need for careful root fragment management during dental extractions.
    • Diagnostic imaging is crucial for locating retained root fragments and ensuring patient safety.
