Area of Science:

Dentistry
Oral Surgery
Periodontology

Background:

Molar damage often necessitates extraction, leading to bone loss and prosthetic challenges.
Hemisection offers a conservative alternative to extraction for specific molar pathologies.

Observation:

This case report focuses on hemisection of carious mandibular first molars.
The procedure involves separating the root and crown portions of the damaged tooth.

Findings:

Hemisection successfully preserves tooth structure and alveolar bone around the retained root.
It facilitates the subsequent placement of a fixed prosthesis.

Implications:

Hemisection is an effective treatment for preserving severely damaged mandibular molars.
This approach maintains bone integrity and enables prosthetic restoration, improving patient outcomes.
