AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients will be illegible for root amputation if they one or more of the following criteria:
* Severe vertical bone loss affecting only Mesio-buccal root of Maxillary molar.
* Through-and-through furcation involvement
* Vertical root fracture confined to a Mesio-buccal root of Maxillary molar.
* Extensive root caries affecting Mesio-buccal root of Maxillary molar.
* Endodontic failure or non- treatable perforation in Mesio-buccal root of Maxillary molar
* Extensive internal or external non- treatable root resorption related to Mesio-buccal root of Maxillary molar.
* Patients who do not meet the above criteria and present with Maxillary molars in more severely compromised conditions will be directed for extraction followed by dental implant placement.
Exclusion Criteria:
* \- Uncontrolled systemic disease, immunosuppression, recent bisphosphonate use, head and neck radiotherapy.
* Patient non-compliance or poor oral hygiene.
* Heavy smoking or inability to commit to maintenance.
* Root anatomy or interradicular bone that precludes predictable root amputation; insufficient bone for implant placement that cannot be reasonably augmented.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
