title: Odontic trisection: an alternative therapy.
abstract: The purpose of this article is to familiarize dentists with alternative methods of therapy for trifurcation involvement. Because failures with complex treatment are a reality, patients should be informed of the risks before treatment is instituted. Despite the potential for failure, longitudinal clinical results support the extraordinary measures to retain teeth in critical arch positions.
