Abstract
Hemisection involves splitting of a mandibular molar into two halves, removing the damaged root with its accompanying part of crown and leaving the intact root along with crown in place. This form of treatment may be used when only one root has been affected by periodontal, resorption, perforation and caries involving furcation area while another root remains in good condition. Hemisection of the damaged tooth assists to maintain the tooth’s structure and the alveolar bone surrounding it. The key element to ensuring the long-term success in such cases is the proper case selection. This case report shows the hemisection of a mandibular molar in a young patient, followed by an appropriate restoration.
