title: [Methods for the partial preservation of teeth (hemisection etc.)].
abstract: The term hemisection, root amputation and tooth separation are defined. These methods of treatment should be employed after other proven therapeutic measures have failed and there is justification in the total situation for partial tooth preservation. Correct root canal filling of the remaining dental stumps is essential. Special indications exist in the molar region in the presence of deep parodontal disease. The technical details of the individual methods are described. Prognosis is good if the indications were correctly established.
