Abstract
Advances in dentistry, as well as the increased desire of patients to maintain their dentition, have lead to treatment of teeth that once would have been removed. In order to carry out this present day mandate, periodontally diseased teeth with severe bone loss may well be retained by removal of one or more of their roots. This article describes a simple procedure for hemisection in mandibular molar and its subsequent restoration
Keywords: Hemisection, Root Resection, Root Amputation, Furcation Involvement.
