     What is the cause of the bone loss? And by severe bone loss if you mean more than half of the root length, then extraction would be the treatment of choice. The IOPA would give a more vivid picture though.

     If the bone loss is because of an abscess, i would suggest open up the tooth and put the patient on analgesics and antibiotics for 3-4 days and check the response. But then as mentioned earlier an X-ray would give a more clear picture.

     if the bone loss is covering 2/3 of the root then ur in danger zone. post the xray. consider SRP,splinting. u will have to teach the patient oral hygiene.

    hope this helps.
