Abstract
Adjunctive surgical procedures are those that are used to treat either mishaps that occur during root canal treatment or pathologic conditions. As discussed in Chapter 18, most of procedural accidents can be corrected nonsurgically. When nonsurgical correction is not feasible or impractical, these conditions are treated surgically as discussed in Chapter 20. Adjunctive surgical procedures are additional treatment modalities to preserve natural dentition. The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the etiology, treatment, and prognosis of some of these procedures such as root resection, hemisection, crown lengthening, tooth replantation, and transplantation. In addition, principles and materials for socket preservation after extraction using regenerative techniques and guided bone regeneration will be discussed.
