Abstract	Root resection, also known as root amputation, is a surgical procedure aimed at preserving a compromised tooth by removing one or more roots while retaining the healthy portions of the tooth structure. This procedure has gained significance in modern dentistry as it offers an alternative to extraction, enabling the maintenance of natural dentition and occlusal stability. Outcome of root resection can vary depending on various factors such as the tooth involved, the extent of the pathology, and the patient's overall oral health. However, its success relies on appropriate case selection, meticulous execution, and comprehensive follow-up care. Continued research and advancements in techniques and materials will further enhance the outcomes and broaden the applicability of root resection in contemporary dental practice.
