Showing Hemisection

Traveling From UK

A hemisection is the process of cutting a tooth with two roots in half. A hemisection is done when decay or bone loss from peridontal disease extends into the area between the two roots. The procedure provides easy access to the area for cleaning and treatment. Once the roots have been separated, your dentist will evaluate each half of the tooth and its root and will decide whether each part can be saved. Any part that is saved will need to be restored with a crown.
