[Corono-radicular amputation of mandibular molars: indication, technic and prosthetic utilization. Apropos of a clinical case].

Lesions to the radicular bifurcation generally entail the removal of the tooth in question. This leads to the need to create a prosthetic bridge to compensate for the absence of the extracted tooth. This solution is not readily accepted by the patient who wishes to avoid involving other teeth. In these cases rhizectomy and the execution of an inlay on an adjacent tooth may satisfy the patient and resolve the clinical symptoms. The authors report a case of rhizectomy and prosthetic reconstruction of a tooth using inlay.
