Hemisection is the sectioning of teeth with multiple roots, the removal of the damaged root and its associated crown piece, and the preservation of the healthy root (with crown). When periodontal, resorption, perforation, or caries damage is limited to one root and the other root is still largely healthy, this treatment option may be taken into account. The right case selection is the most important component in determining the long-term success in such cases. This case report details the hemisection of a mandibular molar with root caries, followed by appropriate restoration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
