The treatment of furcation defects is a complex and difficult task that may compromise the success of periodontal therapy. Here we report a new clinical treatment of a Class II furcation defect using an autogenous bone graft associated with a buccal fat pad (BFP) used as a membrane. The surgical treatment was performed following initial periodontal therapy. Post-operative follow-up appointments...

introduction: iatrogenic furcal perforation is a procedural accident in endodontic treatments of primary/permanent teeth; prognosis may be favorable if a complete seal with biomaterial is immediately established. the purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate microleakage of calcium enriched mixture (cem) cement and proroot mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) for sealing primary molar furcal p...

Purpose Furcation involvement in the molars is difficult to treat, and has been recognized as a risk factor for tooth loss. Although periodontal regenerative therapies, including guided tissue regeneration and various types of bone grafts, have been applied to furcation defects, the effects of these treatments are limited, especially in large class III furcation defects. The purpose of this pil...

INTRODUCTION Root canal therapy (RCT)_like other dental practices_ can be accompanied with some accidents or unpredictable conditions that are called "procedural accidents". Having the knowledge about these accidents and their etiology is essential to have RCT completion and to prevent the repeat of these accidents. This study was designed to evaluate accidents occurring during RCT in patients ...

The aim of the present study was to test the reproducibility, sensitivity, and specificity of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in detecting incipient furcation involvement. Fifteen macerated pig mandibles, with intact second molar teeth and preserved adjacent cortical areas, were used. Simulated lesions were created in the furcation region of these teeth by applying 70% perchloric acid in u...

UNLABELLED Root perforation is an unwanted incident which may occur at any stage of endodontic treatment and can adversely affect tooth prognosis. AIM To compare the recovery rate after treatment of root perforations in the interradicular area of the molars, using two different materials: MTA and ceramic nanoparticles mineral cement DiaRoot BioAggregate, by a clinical-radiological and statist...

Aim: The objective of this study was to investigate the use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in assessing furcation involvement (FI). Methods: The study group comprised of 17 patients diagnosed as generalized chronic periodontitis.A total of 20 first and 12 second maxillary molars with 96 furcation entrances were included.The degree of FI obtained by periodontal probing was compared with...

BACKGROUND Crown lengthening procedures are a significant part of the periodontist's armamentarium. In order to recreate the clinical space lost to caries or trauma necessary for prosthetic restoration, osseous surgery is often required. If the procedure is not carefully planned, it may result in furcation involvement of multirooted teeth. METHODS Twenty-six subjects with 26 mandibular molar ...

The present investigation was designed to evaluate the long-term effect of root-resective therapy in the treatment of furcation-involved molars. The patient sample included 72 patients, 21-62 years of age, who presented periodontal lesions in the posteriors segments of the mouth including furcation involvement of various degrees. After an initial examination, each patient was subjected to a ser...

Here, we report the management of a type I endoperiodontal lesion with furcation bone loss. A 59-year-old female attended our hospital with the chief complaint of mobility of tooth 46 and recurrent gingival swelling around the tooth. She previously received dental treatment from two dentists, but her condition did not improve. The tooth manifested the symptoms of typical periodontitis, such as ...
