Abstract

Hemisection of mandibular molar refers to a procedure involving sectioning a multi-rooted tooth with its crown portion
followed by the removal of the sectioned tooth with unfavorable prognosis. Hemisection helps in retention of the tooth which
otherwise would have undergone extraction. This case report highlights hemisection of mandibular molar with advanced
furcation involvement and concomitant endo-perio lesion. This case report also aims at focusing attention in proper diagnosis,
treatment planning and management of teeth with advanced periodontal involvement
