Furcation Involvement in Maxillary and Mandibular Molars

Journal of Periodontology, 1980
This is a sequel to a previous study that showed that many molars with furcation involvement (F.I.) can survive in a state of health and can function efficiently and without pain for many years. This finding is at variance with the views of others who believe that the prognosis for teeth with F.I. is unfavorable.

Classification of the Vertical Component of Furcation Involvement

Journal of Periodontology, 1984
The current classifications of teeth with furcation involvements refer mainly to the horizontal component of bone loss. This article presents a subclassification that measures the probeable vertical depth from the roof of the furca apically. The subclasses being proposed are: A, B and C.

Indian Journal of Multidisciplinary Dentistry, 2017
Advances in dentistry, as well as the increased desire of patients to maintain their dentition, have led to treatment of teeth that once would have been thought to be removed; as furcally involved teeth present unique challenges to the success of periodontal therapy. The treatment, management, and long-term retention of molar teeth exhibiting furcation

The goal of traditional methods of treatment is to arrest the progression of bone loss; the rate of success with these ...

Compendium of continuing education in dentistry (Jamesburg, N.J. : 1995), 2000
This article presents two cases in which different treatments were used for mandibular molars with furcation lesions. In the first case, a conventional amputation treatment of the distal root was performed to save the mesial root as a terminal tooth, which was used as a partial denture abutment.

Some Anatomical Factors Related to Furcation Involvements

Journal of Periodontology, 1975
A total of 305 dry human skull specimens were examined for the presence of furcation involvements. Of a total of 188 furcation involvements, 142 (75%) were related to the close proximity of the furcation to the cemento enamel junction of the tooth.

[Diagnosis of furcation involvement].

Deutsche zahnarztliche Zeitschrift, 1992
The diagnostic aids for the assessment of furcation involvement are identical with the ones used for periodontal assessment. For probing of the furcation area, a special curved probe is indispensable. A new imaging procedure for diagnosis of alterations in the furcation area is presented: after congruently superimposing digitalized x-ray films on each ...
