[Results of hemisections and root amputations in a general practice].
A retrospective study is presented of the treatment of furcation problems and deep, localized periodontal pockets by means of root-resection and the subsequent restorative treatment. The study incorporates 69 teeth in 53 patients, treated in the period 1970-1986. The results indicate that well-indicated root-resections may produce good long-term results. Most of the treated teeth have a survival rate of 10 years. Indications, possibilities and specific restorative problems are discussed.
