Abstract

Hemi section refers to the sectioning of two rooted teeth, and the removal of the diseased root and its crown portion. When caries, resorption, perforation, or periodontal pathology is limited to one root and the other root remains essentially healthy, it is considered as a conservative treatment option. Hemi section of an affected tooth preserves the dental structure and alveolar bone while being more affordable than alternative treatment methods. The most essential factor in determining long-term effectiveness in such an approach is case selection. This case report describes the hemi section of a bilateral mandibular molar with subgingival caries extension, followed by appropriate restoration.
