This case report presents hemisection as a treatment option to save the extensively affected molars thereby preventing the undesirable consequences of tooth loss. Hemisection means the division of mandibular molar into two halves followed by removal of the diseased ischolar_main with its accompanying crown portion. Careful case selection is necessary for long-term success.
