Hemisection : A Case-Report and Review

Abstract

Many people would prefer to keep their natural teeth and advances in dentistry have lead to treatment of teeth that once would have been removed. In order to carry out this present day mandate, hemisection is the procedure of cutting a tooth that has two roots in half. This will create a front half and a back half. This procedure can be done by a periodontist, an experienced dentist, an endodontist, or an oral surgeon. This article describes a simple procedure for hemisection in mandibular molar and its subsequent restoration.
