Hemisection or root resection is a conservative treatment modality for cariously destructed, furcal
involvement and failure of retreatment cases. Mandibular molars which are most commonly extracted due
to caries and periodontal issues are the major standpoint for occlusion. Hemisection, a treatment modality
provides a ray of hope to conserve the natural tooth structure and remove only the diseased portion followed
by prosthetic rehabilitation. The present case report exhibits two cases of lower mandibular first molar
where one root is resected, while preserving the remaining structure and promoting healing by placing
autologous platelet rich fibrin(PRF) in the socket.
