Hemisection of teeth

Hemisection is a surgical procedure in which the diseased root of a multi-rooted tooth (in the lower jaw) is removed while the healthy portion is preserved. This method avoids complete tooth extraction and prolongs the tooth's lifespan.

When is a tooth hemisection required?

• When one of the tooth roots is destroyed due to caries or inflammation.
• If deep cracks or root fractures are detected.
• In the presence of a cyst or granuloma that does not respond to conservative treatment.
• In case of complications after root canal treatment.
• If you want to preserve the healthy part of the tooth and avoid implantation.

How does the procedure work?

1. Diagnostics – X-ray or CT scan is performed to assess the condition of the roots.
2. Pain relief – local anesthesia is used to eliminate discomfort.
3. Tooth separation – the surgeon removes the damaged root, preserving the healthy part.
4. Treatment and filling – the remaining root is strengthened, and prosthetics are performed if necessary.
5. Rehabilitation – the doctor gives recommendations on how to care for the tooth after the procedure.
