Abstract
Hemisection is sectioning of multi-rooted teeth followed by removal of compromised root along with its associated crown portion and leaving the healthy root (with crown) intact. This treatment option can be considered when caries, resorption, perforation, or periodontal damage is restricted to one root while the other root is relatively healthy. The most critical factor determiningthe long term success in such cases is the appropriate case selection. This case report describes a case of hemisectionof a mandibular molar followed by adequate restoration in a young patient.
