First seen Jun 09, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 09, 2026

Summary

This study compares two treatments for severely damaged lower molars: a tooth-saving surgery called hemisection (removing the damaged root) versus replacing the whole tooth with a dental implant. Researchers will track 28 participants over 12 months to see which option leads to better patient satisfaction, chewing ability, and bone healing. The goal is to help dentists and patients make more informed treatment decisions.
