ABSTRACT: The coronal-radicular amputation or radicular hemisection is defined as the sectioning fragments coronal-radicular of the lower molar with clinical damage followed endodontic treatment and pros-thetics rehabilitation. This clinical treatment is viable in presence of the radicular decay or furca damage. This is a report case of radicular hemisection of lower molar with decay and bone loss that compromise distal root. The objective was elimination of distal root and conserved mesial root with endodontic and prosthetics treatment.
