Abstract:

Hemisection is a conservative dental procedure involving the removal of one root and the associated crown portion of a multirooted tooth. This technique is predominantly applied to mandibular molars with complex perio-endo pathologies that compromise one root while preserving the other. Hemisection was chosen as the treatment approach to preserve the unaffected root and maintain functionality. This case report outlines the diagnostic process, treatment protocol, surgical procedure, and postoperative outcomes of treating periodontally involved mandibular molar demonstrating the effectiveness of hemisection as a conservative dental intervention.
