Evaluation of Corrective Surgery Versus Dental Implants in Compromised Upper Molars

Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Root Caries

In brief

This study seeks to assess the clinical, radiographic, and patient-reported outcomes of root amputation versus implant over a 12 months period, generating robust evidence to guide clinical decision-making and enhance patient care.

You may qualify if…

• Patients will be illegible for root amputation if they one or more of the following criteria:
• Severe vertical bone loss affecting only Mesio-buccal root of Maxillary molar.
• Through-and-through furcation involvement
• Vertical root fracture confined to a Mesio-buccal root of Maxillary molar.
• Extensive root caries affecting Mesio-buccal root of Maxillary molar.
• Endodontic failure or non- treatable perforation in Mesio-buccal root of Maxillary molar
• Extensive internal or external non- treatable root resorption related to Mesio-buccal root of Maxillary molar.
• Patients who do not meet the above criteria and present with Maxillary molars in more severely compromised conditions will be directed for extraction followed by dental implant placement.

You may not qualify if…

• - Uncontrolled systemic disease, immunosuppression, recent bisphosphonate use, head and neck radiotherapy.
• Patient non-compliance or poor oral hygiene.
• Heavy smoking or inability to commit to maintenance.
• Root anatomy or interradicular bone that precludes predictable root amputation; insufficient bone for implant placement that cannot be reasonably augmented.
