Aim: This report discusses root and endodontic treatment as well as dental endodontic treatment of remaining roots using hemisection. An array of prosthetic approaches is described. Methodology: These two case reports describe multidisciplinary pro sthetic restoration of teeth using a hemisection procedure. Results: It was possible to obtain successful results in problematic cases where the root failed to respond to endodontic treatment using a multidisciplinary approach combining endodontic treatment with restorative or prosthetic restorations of the intact root. Conclusions: Hemisection is a suitable alternative approach to extra ction for the effective and conservative treatment of affected teeth using periodontal and endodontic treatment.
