Abstract

Long term retention of mandibular molars with Grade III furcation is a challenging clinical scenario but with an interdisciplinary approach of Periodontics, Endodontics and Prosthodontics promising results can be achieved. Bicuspidization is a surgical procedure performed to separate the mesial and distal roots of molars with its crown portion, where both segments are then retained individually. This procedure will maintain the dentition with a hopeless periodontal prognosis. While considering treatment options, Bicuspidization may be a suitable alternative to extraction and implant and should be discussed with patients priorly.
