BACKGROUND Multirooted teeth offer unique and challenging problems due to the furcation area, creates situations in which routine periodontal procedures are somewhat limited and special procedures are generally required. CASE DETAIL The present case was showing the management of grade II furcation defect by platelet rich fibrin (PRF) and β-Tricalcium phosphate with coronally advanced flap. ...

BACKGROUND Regenerative periodontal therapy aims to predictably restore the tooth's supporting periodontal tissues and should result in formation of a new connective tissue attachment (i.e. new cementum with inserting periodontal ligament fibres) and new alveolar bone. Histologic evidence from preclinical models has demonstrated periodontal regeneration following treatment with barrier membrane...

The purpose of this project was to characterize the histopathology of radiolucent furcation lesions associated with primary molars which had received pulpotomy treatment. Twenty-four pulpotomy-treated primary molars which displayed radiolucent lesions in the root furcation suggesting unsuccessful outcome were extracted. Pretreatment radiographs were available for 6 teeth and none had evidence o...

UNLABELLED Furcation involvement in periodontal disease has been a challenge for the dentist. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate root dimensions in the furcation area of 233 mandibular first molars. MATERIAL AND METHODS Digital photomicrographs were used to obtain the following measurements on the buccal and lingual surfaces of each tooth: root trunk height (RT), horizontal ...

Aim: The present study was carried out to compare clinically and radiographically the efficacy of regenerative potential Demineralizedfreeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) Bioactive glass putty (Novabone© dental putty) in mandibular grade II furcation defects. Methods: In 34 Patients, 60 defects were treated using DFDBA putty. 30 furcations DFDBA, while bioactive used treat remaining defect. Clin...

A case report is presented on transplantation of a left third molar to replace a right second molar lost due to large furcation perforation. Two weeks after surgery, a reentry surgical procedure was performed on the furcation defect of the second molar to remove membrane and retrieve proliferating periodontal tissue. The left third molar and proliferating periodontal tissue were then transplant...

An Endo perio lesion has been one of the most common problems associated with the tooth. The simultaneous involvement of pulpal problems and inflammatory periodontal disease can complicate diagnosis and treatment planning. The present case report shows the importance of periodontal therapy that includes open debridement of the defect followed by placement of alloplastic bone graft (G-bone) in f...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this controlled clinical trial was to evaluate the effect of topically applied povidone-iodine (PVP-I) used as an adjunct to non-surgical treatment of interproximal class II furcation involvements. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty-two patients presenting at least one interproximal class II furcation involvement that bled on probing with probing pocket depth (PPD) ≥ 5 mm were r...
