ABSTRACT
Splitting a molar means removing or separating the root and the accompanying crown portion. Hemisection of a damaged tooth aids in preserving the tooth structure and the existing alveolar bone surrounding the preserved root while also enabling the installation of a fixed prosthesis. This case report defines hemisection as an effective modality for preserving carious mandibular first molars with periodontal and periapical pathology.
