Root resection
text:
Root resection or root amputation is a type of periradicular surgery in which an entire root of a multiroot tooth is removed. It contrasts with an apicoectomy, where only the tip of the root is removed, and hemisection, where a root and its overlying portion of the crown are separated from the rest of the tooth, and optionally removed. The procedure will first start with the doctor injecting the area with local anesthesia, after which an incision is created at the gum tissues around the affected
