title: Reconstruction of a hemisectioned tooth with an adhesive ceramic restoration using intraradicular retention.
abstract: Hemisection may be a valuable form of treatment for molar teeth when one root is considered unrestorable. However, following hemisection the clinician may encounter difficulty in restoring the remaining tooth fragment, which may not possess adequate bulk for the placement of a post. This case report describes an adhesive technique in which a ceramic crown is bonded intraradicularly to the hemisectioned root.
