Two-stage approach for class II mandibular furcation defect with insufficient keratinized mucosa: a case report with 3 years’ follow-up [PDF]
Periodontal regenerative treatment is useful for intrabony defects and furcation involvement, but is difficult when there is insufficient keratinized mucosa to cover and maintain the regenerative material, particularly in the mandibular molar region.

Efficacy of bone graft as monotherapy and in combination with platelet concentrates in grade II furcation defect – A systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Background: The use of autologous platelet concentrates (PC) in addition to bone graft (BG) in open flap debridement (OFD) has been investigated to improve the efficacy and outcomes of regenerative therapy for furcation defects.

Resective and regenerative periodontal therapy for maxillary Class II furcation defect: A case report with 24-month follow-up [PDF]
Periodontal treatment of teeth with furcation defects is challenging due to the complex anatomy of the area. Resective techniques, such as root resection, may be effective in managing teeth with this defect if appropriately indicated and can lead to ...

Clinicoradiographic evaluation of marginal periosteal membrane with or without osseous graft in the treatment of Grade II furcation defects of mandibular molars: A single-blinded randomized clinical trial [PDF]
Background: Furcation defects in periodontitis present treatment challenges due to complex anatomy. While guided tissue regeneration aids regeneration, periosteal isolation limits osteoblast contribution.
