Abstract

Advancements in dentistry and awareness among patients made it possible to treat tooth that once would have been extracted. Hemisection is a treatment modality which involves separation of root at furcation area with selective removal of one root with its accompanying crown portion. This conservative treatment helps us to retain as much healthy tooth structure as possible. This article presents a case of advanced endo-perio lesion successfully treated with hemisection followed by restoration.
