Hemisection: A Savior for Hopeless Teeth

Abstract

ABSTRACT Hemisection refers to the sectioning of a molar tooth with the removal of unrestorable root (along with the crown part) which maybe affected by periodontal, endodontic, structural (cracked roots), or caries. The treatment strategy involves a combined periodontal, endodontic and prosthodontic assessment and evaluation because in hemisection, like any other treatment, appropriate case selection is the most important factor determining the long-term success.
