They can be observed in all quadrants of the jaw, with highest incidence in the maxilla. When a supernumerary tooth is distal to the most posterior molar, it is called a distomolar. Distomolars are more common unilaterally, in the maxilla and in black people and affect 2.2% of the population. In contrast, fusion is the result of the union of two separate tooth germs, forming a single tooth joined by dentin and/ or enamel, and fusion of a permanent tooth with a supernumerary accounts for fewer than 0.1% of cases, usually involving anterior maxillary teeth. Periapical radiographs are routinely used for endodontic diagnosis and preoperative planning, for transoperative guidance and for postoperative follow-up.

Patient wants to preserve teeth by latest treatment option and method available. There are so many treatments available but our treatment option based on the clinical condition, an age of the patient, economical condition of the patient. Hemisection of a compromised mandibular molar is a suitable treatment option. Sectioning of the molar teeth with the removal of an unrestorable root which may be affected by periodontal, endodontic, crack root or caries is called hemisection. Case report: This article describes three cases in which the severely decayed molars are preserved by hemisection and can be used as an abutment which is the part was part of a fixed prosthesis. Discussion: Molar tooth plays a very important role in our day to day life, its loss can result in several undesirable sequelae including tilting of adjacent teeth, a collapse of the vertical dimension of occlusion, supra- eruption of opposing dentition, loss of supporting alveolar bone and a decrease in chewing ability.[18] Conclusion: Hemisection is the alternative, effective and conservative treatment procedure.

    Advances in Health Sciences Research, volume 33 Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Sustainable Innovation 2020–Health Science and Nursing (ICoSIHSN 2020) Hemisection as an Alternative Management for Mandibular First Molar With Bifurcation Lesion and Root Fracture: A Case Report Fauziah Karimah1, Eva Rizki Hutami1 Tunjung Nugraheni2 Ema Mulyawati2, * 1 Conservative Dentistry Specialty Program, Faculty of Dentistry, Gadjah Mada University 2 Department of Conservative Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, Gadjah Mada University *Corresponding author. Email [email protected] ABSTRACT Modern advances in dentistry have provided the opportunity for patients to maintain a functional dentition for lifetime. Hemisection is a conservative way of preserving tooth. This procedure is an endodontic treatment performed by removing of the one or more roots and existing crown structure to increase retention of the remaining teeth and to correct defected dental roots that are not possible to maintain. The purpose of this study was to report a case of hemisection management in teeth with bifurcation lesion. A 24-year-old female patient complained of pain and discomfort arising from the right mandibular first molar during mastication. 2 years ago, the patient underwent endodontic treatment. Based on the clinical examination, a deep cavity and failed restoration were found in tooth 46. Radiographic view showed a radiolucency on distal root, bifurcation and fracture line in mesio-cervical region. Endodontic retreatment was performed by cementing prefabricated fiber post on distal root canal and hemisection procedure was performed in the mesial root. The tooth was restored with splinted zirconia crown. Hemisection procedure and final restoration showed a good result. Hemisection was an alternative treatment in this case.

  • Dental Practitioners 2004
    Dental Practitioners 2004 INTRODUCTION The following reference price list is not a set of tariffs that must be applied by medical schemes and/or providers. It is rather intended to serve as a baseline against which medical schemes can individually determine benefit levels and health service providers can individually determine fees charged to patients. Medical schemes may, for example, determine in their rules that their benefit in respect of a particular health service is equivalent to a specified percentage of the national health reference price list. It is especially intended to serve as a basis for negotiation between individual funders and individual health care providers with a view to facilitating agreements which will minimise balance billing against members of medical schemes. Should individual medical schemes wish to determine benefit structures, and individual providers determine fee structures, on some other basis without reference to this list, they may do so as well. In calculating the prices in this schedule, the following rounding method is used: Values R10 and below rounded to the nearest cent, R10+ rounded to the nearest 10cent. Modifier values are rounded to the nearest cent. When new item prices are calculated, e.g. when applying a modifier, the same rounding scheme should be followed. VAT EXCLUSIVE PRICES APPEAR IN BRACKETS. A. Preface The existence of a code in this publication does not mean that the procedure will be reimbursed by medical schemes. Medical schemes have the right to limit the scope, the frequency and/or combinations of dental procedures that is covered or reimbursed. It is the responsibility of the patient to know what procedures are covered and what are excluded from his/her dental benefit plan, and not that of the dental office.

  • Hemisection: a Conservative Approach for Treatment of Grossly Decayed Tooth
    IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) e-ISSN: 2279-0853, p-ISSN: 2279-0861.Volume 19, Issue 1 Ser.11 (January. 2020), PP 38-40 www.iosrjournals.org Hemisection: A Conservative Approach for Treatment of Grossly Decayed Tooth Nimmy S Mukundan1, Prasanth Balan2, Jayasree S3, Muhammed Abdul Rahman TV4, Sruthi Poornima E5, Rinku B6 1-6(Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, Govt. Dental College, Calicut) Corresponding Author: Nimmy S Mukundan Abstract:Untreated dental caries or periodontal disease eventually leads to loss of tooth. Hemisection helps in retaining grossly decayed or periodontally involved tooth which otherwise should be extracted. In this paper we describe a case of grossly decayed mandibular molar managed conservatively with hemisection and prosthetic rehabilitation.

Introduction Attempts to save existing natural tooth dates back to more than a century and now the dentistry has advanced enough to retain a well functioning dentition for a lifetime1. Although loss of anterior tooth is more of patient concern on an aesthetic view point, loss of posterior tooth is eventful often leading to drifting of adjacent tooth, loss of arch length and loss of masticatory function. This often necessitates subsequent preventive and corrective measures. Advanced periodontal disease and gross destruction of tooth structure due to caries are the most common reason for extraction. High predictability and success rate of endodontic therapy and periodontal treatment now gave us the means to save more of such teeth or atleast a part of it.

  • Hemisection Treatment at Vertical Root Fracture: a Case Report
    138 32 DENTINO JURNAL KEDOKTERAN GIGI Vol II. No 2. Maret 2017 HEMISECTION TREATMENT AT VERTICAL ROOT FRACTURE: A CASE REPORT Isyana Erlita Faculty of Dentistry, Lambung Mangkurat University, Banjarmasin ABSTRACT Background: Dentistry science and technology, especially in the field of endodontics has experienced rapid development. The advancement of dentistry has been able to keep the teeth in order to function as long as possible in the mouth. Patient awareness to maintain current teeth is higher and prefer to be treated root canal on her teeth rather than revocation action. This is supported by the presence of advanced dental care techniques and satisfactory results for the long term. Case: This case report aims at reporting that hemisection treatment is a treatment with considerable success. Case management: A 40-year-old female patient, coming to PPDGS RSGMP Dental Conservancy University of Airlangga with complaints of perforated lower left molars, has often been patched but always loose and sick when used to chew food. Clinical features appear to be cavities in the left lower left occiput. On the objective examination obtained negative vitality test, positive percussion. On the radiographic appearance radiolucency appears to all distal roots extending to bifurcation, deep carious lesions, vertical fracture lines at distal roots. Treatment options are the hemisection and restoration of the metal fusion porcelain crown with cantilever on the lower left second mesial tooth. Conclusion: 4 weeks post-hemisection control is not found subjective or objective symptoms, it is expected that hemisection treatment with enough success rate to maintain the remaining tooth structure and functioning for as long as possible in the oral cavity.

Complete Peer review History: http://www.sciencedomain.org/review-history/18197 Received 6th December 2016 rd Case Report Accepted 23 February 2017 Published 15 th March 2017 ABSTRACT Hemisection is the splitting of a two-rooted tooth into two separate portions. This process has also been called bicuspidization in the mandibular molar because it changes a molar into two separate bicuspids. A case involving a 19-year-old patient with perforation of pulpal floor of tooth #47 and extruded gutta percha that could not be retrieved is presented. Following endodontic treatment of the distal root of #47 the tooth was hemisected and the mesial root removed. Preservation of the distal root was necessary in order to serve as abutment for restoration of the edentulous portion of mesial root and the missing #46 with fixed partial denture as tooth #48 was also missing.

In this, a mandibular molar is sectioned into two halves followed by removal of the diseased root along with its coronal portion. The retained root is endodontically treated and its furcation area is made self-cleansable by proper cleaning and debridement. Case report: This case report contains 3 cases with periodontally compromised mandibular molar which is not restorable by root canal treatment alone, which was managed by hemisection and with the various prosthetic treatment option. Result: The patients were followed for a period of 1 year .Adequate healing was seen with reduction of mobility. Conclusion: This treatment can produce predictable results as long as proper case selection is followed by an interdisciplinary approach with endodontic, surgical and prosthetic procedures.
