Arpit Singhi ^[3] | Prakash Somani ^[3]

Abstract: Hemisection is sectioning of multi-rooted teeth with its crown portion, with the loss of periodontal attachment and is performed to retain the original tooth structure and attain the fixed prosthodontic prosthesis. In this case report, a 38 year old female with an advanced Endo-Perio lesion on a mandibular first molar was successfully treated by root-canal treatment and hemisection. This procedure helps preserve the tooth structure, alveolar bone and promote cost savings over other treatment options
