As we all know that latest innovations in dentistry and higher patient’s expectations have led to more conservative treatment approaches in saving the teeth with hopeless periodontal prognosis. As and when the periodontal diseases affect the furcation area of a tooth; the chance of its exfoliation increases significantly. Such clinical problems make it difficult for the patient to maintain hygiene, and impede adequate treatment. The treatment of furcations affected by periodontal disease is one of the most difficult problems for the general dentist and periodontist. Molar bisection is one modality option which is actually the separation of mesial and distal roots of mandibular molars along with its crown portion, where both segments are then retained individually. Here authors have genuinely attempted to congregate a comprehensive review of literature on this obscured field of clinical dentistry.
