Abstract

Hemisection or root resection is a conservative treatment modality for cariously destructed, furcal involvement and failure of retreatment cases. Mandibular molars which are most commonly extracted due to caries and periodontal issues are the major standpoint for occlusion. Hemisection, a treatment modality provides a ray of hope to conserve the natural tooth structure and remove only the diseased portion followed by prosthetic rehabilitation. The present case report exhibits two cases of lower mandibular first molar where one root is resected, while preserving the remaining structure and promoting healing by placing autologous platelet rich fibrin(PRF) in the socket. Keywords: Hemisection, Furcation, Plateletrich fibrin.
