The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: • Is it possible to carry out root resection without endodontic treatment on molars? Tooth vitality will be checked (positive response to cold test). Root resection will be carried out under local anestesia. Following visits will be carried out for re-evaluation/maintenance according to clinical care every 3 mounths until 3 years follow-up.

Conditions

• Periodontal Diseases
• Furcation Defects

Interventions

Type	Name	Description

Intra-crevicular or para-marginal gingival incision will be carried out and full-tickness mucoperiostal flaps will be raised to expose the affected roots. Whit the use (if possible) of a surgical stent an incision will be performed on the root to be removed. Biodentine will be used for retrogade obturation. The flaps will be sutured.
