title: Multidisciplinary aspects of root resection failure: a case report.
abstract: Creative approaches to tooth maintenance often include tooth resection and retention of one or more of the roots. Although this procedure is reasonably successful, failure of supportive endodontic, periodontic, and restorative management of the retained roots can jeopardize a successful outcome. The following is a case report evaluating multiple aetiologies contributing to root resection failure.
