- Abstract
Intentional partial odontectomy, coronectomy or deliberate vital root retention are nomenclatures used to describe a technique applied in specific situations when the roots of a tooth may be closely related to the inferior alveolar nerve. This technique has specific step-by-step instructions and requires planning and professional expertise. Usually, dentists have used this name to justify failures in attempts to completely remove a tooth, which is extremely wrong, because in these cases there has been rupture of periodontal ligament fibers, expansion of the bone plate and subsequent pain and inflammation may occur. The aim of this case report was to describe an unsuccessful attempt to perform coronectomy, which subsequently resulted in symptomatic pulpitis and bone resorption around the involved tooth, therefore requiring surgical reintervention so that the tooth could be completely removed.
