The successful management of endodontically involved teeth depends on adequate biomechanical preparation and obturation in adherence to a satisfactory coronal seal. However, challenges such as extensive carious involvement, periodontal attachment loss, and iatrogenic mishaps which include ledges, blocked canals and instrument separation compromise the salvation of teeth. Treatment options such as mishaps in multirooted teeth can range from endodontic treatment along, combined endodontic-periodontal treatment or extraction in cases with poor prognosis. One such treatment in such case could be root resection known as Radisection. This article highlights a case report of root resection in the maxillary molar.
