ABSTRACT:Hemisection is a surgical procedure characterized by the anatomical division of a multi-rooted tooth into two distinct segments, followed by the extraction of the diseased root or segment. Typically employed in cases of localized pathology affecting a specific root, hemisection aims to preserve the intact, healthy portion of the tooth, maintaining the overall natural tooth structure. This case report presents a successful prosthetic rehabilitation following hemisection surgery after root canal treatment. It is emphasised that with appropriate endodontic treatment and surgical procedures, conventional fixed prosthetics can be used instead of implant treatment.
