A new approach to vital root resection.

E W Haskell, H Stanley, S Goldman

    Journal of Periodontology
    |April 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Vital root resection combined with periodontal surgery shows favorable outcomes for maxillary molars. This approach is comparable to performing periodontal surgery in a separate prior appointment.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Periodontology
    • Endodontics

    Background:

    • Periodontal disease often necessitates surgical intervention.
    • Maxillary molars with severe periodontal involvement may require root resection.
    • Preserving tooth vitality is a key consideration in complex dental procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of combining vital root resection with periodontal surgery.
    • To compare simultaneous versus staged surgical approaches for maxillary molar treatment.
    • To assess the long-term outcomes of vital root resection in conjunction with periodontal procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Ten cases involved periodontal surgery followed by immediate vital buccal root resection on maxillary molars.
    • The exposed pulpal area was treated with calcium hydroxide, zinc oxide, and eugenol, then sealed with amalgam.
    • Two cases were performed in reverse order: root resection first, then periodontal surgery.
    • All cases were monitored for 1 to 3 years.

    Main Results:

    • The combined vital root resection and periodontal surgery approach yielded favorable results.
    • Outcomes were comparable to cases where periodontal surgery was performed at a separate, earlier appointment.
    • No significant differences were noted between the simultaneous and staged treatment groups over the evaluation period.

    Conclusions:

    • Simultaneous vital root resection and periodontal surgery is a viable and effective treatment option for maxillary molars.
    • This combined approach offers comparable results to staged procedures, potentially improving treatment efficiency.
    • The findings support the integration of vital root resection into periodontal surgical planning.
