VERTICAL ROOT FRACTURE OF THE MANDIBULAR MOLAR TOOTH WITH HEMISECTION TREATMENT METHOD: A CASE REPORT

Retaining the teeth is possible with hemisection teqnique by many reasons such as extreme crown destruction, periodontal troubles and root fracture. in this study, distal canal endodontic treatment of right second molar tooth which has vertical fracture on mesial root has been renewed. fractured mesial root has been removed from distal root by hemisection technique. in the next appointment, fiber post-core restoration has been generated and after healing extraction cavity caused by being removed of mesial root, has been completed with the porcelain-fused-to-metal bridge to the mandibular right first molar and mandibular right second molar teeth. after tree year follow-up, it’s observed that the teeth are healty clinically and radiographically. hemisection teqnique may be prefered because of some reasons such as having progression of dental occlusion, short treatment process and the low treatment cost.
