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

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

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.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

root amputation
Procedure/Surgery
only one root will be amputated and the rest of the molar will be preserved

Treatment groups

28 Participants

are divided into 2 treatment groups

Group A: root imputationExperimental treatment 1 intervention

Group B: dental implantNo intervention 0 interventions

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

regression of clinical signs and symptoms and improvement in the bone radiographically

Disappearance of signs and symptoms including tooth mobility, pain on percussion, functional success. from zero to 10 Visual analgue scale (VAS) will be used to measure the patients pain after the procedure where zero indicated no pain and 10 indicated intorable pain and the bone will be assessed Radiographically. regarding the implant 1ry and 2ndry stability using Any Check and mesiodistal radiographic bone changes.
