Compromised teeth are challenging to the dentist which complicate the treatment plan which affects the
long-term prognosis. Maxillary molars showing untreatable endodontic failure, periodontal attachment
loss, extensive carious involvement or fractures involving the furcation area are often difficult to manage.
Treatment option for such multi-rooted teeth can be root resection, or extraction and prosthetic replacement.

This article highlights 2 case reports of root resection in maxillary molar with different etiologies combined
with the periodontal approach and prosthetic management with resultant successful oral rehabilitation.
