Hemisection: Partial preservation of compromised tooth.

One of dentistry's primary objectives is the long-term maintenance of teeth. Hemisection may be the best line of action when only one root is decayed and the other one is intact. This case report outlines and depicts a situation in which the deteriorated terminal abutment was part of a cantilevered fixed prosthesis.

Evaluation of shear bond strength of various adhesives under Simulated intrapulpal pressure: An study.

Introduction: The presence of pulpal fluid can influence dentin bonding. This study aimed to evaluate the shear bond strength of universal dental adhesives under simulated intrapulpal pressure.

Materials And Methods: Forty intact maxillary premolars were distributed into four groups (Group 1 - 3M ESPE Adper Single Bond 2 total etch adhesive, Group 2 - 3M ESPE Single Bond Universal, Group 3 - Prime and Bond universal adhesive, and Group 4 - Ivoclar Tetric N Bond Universal).
