Hemisection: A Minimally Invasive Strategy to Rescue a Mandibular Molar
Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Hemisection serves as a conservative and multidisciplinary surgical endodontic prosthodontic intervention aimed at retaining salvageable portions of multi rooted teeth compromised by localized disease. In this case, a mandibular first molar with an endo-periodontal lesion underwent hemisection successfully. Following endodontic therapy and surgical excision of the diseased root, prosthetic rehabilitation with a fixed bridge restored form and function. The favorable outcome highlights hemisection as an effective alternative to extraction in selected cases.
