Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral Surgery

Background:

  • Maxillary molars present unique challenges in root-specific treatments.
  • Palatal root involvement often complicates endodontic and surgical interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a simplified surgical technique for palatal root hemisection in maxillary molars.
  • To highlight the benefits of hemisection for subsequent prosthetic restoration.

Main Methods:

  • A step-by-step description of the palatal root hemisection procedure.
  • Techniques for managing the hemisected tooth and preparing for restoration.

Main Results:

  • The hemisection technique is presented as a viable and simple alternative to full molar resection.
  • The procedure facilitates straightforward prosthetic restoration of the remaining tooth structure.

Conclusions:

  • Palatal root hemisection is an effective treatment option for specific maxillary molar pathologies.
  • This approach simplifies prosthetic rehabilitation, especially when addressing palatal root issues.
