Open publisher page 12 citations

Abstract

Hemisection denotes removal or separation of root with its accompanying crown portion of mandibular molars. This procedure represents a form of conservative dentistry, aiming to retain as much of the original tooth structure as possible. The results are predictable and success rates are high. In this paper a case is presented in a young female patient with severe class-IIc involvement of mandibular molar, which was treated with hemisection and restoration.
