About this trial
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.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
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.
Disqualifiers
- 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.
