Area of Science:

Dentistry
Periodontology
Prosthodontics

Background:

General dentists face challenges deciding between tooth extraction with implants and conservative tooth preservation.
Patient demand for preserving natural dentition is increasing, necessitating conservative treatment options.
Interdisciplinary approaches are key for functional and conservative dental treatments.

Observation:

This report details preserving a periodontally compromised tooth through root resection, removing only the diseased portion.
The technique conserves the tooth's proprioceptive capacity.
A one-year follow-up demonstrates a healthy periodontium and resolved tooth mobility.

Findings:

Root resection in a mandibular molar is a viable and definitive treatment.
This procedure provides improved access to the remaining tooth structure.
Successful prosthetic rehabilitation of the treated tooth is enabled.

Implications:

Root resection offers a conservative alternative to extraction and dental implants for compromised teeth.
Preserving natural teeth enhances patient outcomes and satisfaction.
This technique supports long-term dental health and function.
