Because mandibularmolars are the first teeth
to erupt in the oral cavity, they have a high caries
susceptibility index, necessitating careful application of
oral hygiene procedures. Anyneglect of maintenance can
result in major issu
es such as furcation involvement.
Bisection/bicuspidizationis the separation of the mesial
and distal roots of mandibularmolars, as well as the
crown area, and the retention of these segments
separately. These teeth can function as standalone
mastication units or as abutments in simple fixed
bridges.
