1 FURCATION

2 DEFFINITION The furcation is an area of complex anatomic morphology, that may be difficult or impossible to debride by routine periodontal instrumentation.

3 Etiologic Factors bacterial plaque
local anatomic factors (e.g., root trunk length, root morphology) local developmental anomalies (e.g., cervical enamel projections)

4 Diagnosis clinical examination Careful probing (Nabors probe)
Transgingival sounding

5 Local Anatomic Factors
Root trunk length Root length Root form Interradicular dimension Anatomy of furcation Cervical enamel projections

6 Root Trunk Length The distance from the cementoenamel junction to the entrance of the furcation can vary extensively

7 Anatomy of the Bony Lesions
Pattern of Attachment Loss Horizontal bone loss can expose the furcation as thin facial/lingual plates of bone The treatment response in deep, multiwalled bony defects is different from that in areas of horizontal bone loss. Other Dental Findings

8 Indices of Furcation Involvement
Glickman's classification

9 Grade I incipient or early stage pocket is suprabony
primarily affects the soft tissues Early bone loss radiographic changes

10 Grade II essentially a cul-de-sac definite horizontal component
Radiographs may or may not depict the furcation involvement

11 Grade III bone is not attached to the dome of the furcation
periodontal probe completely through the furcation display the defect as a radiolucent area

12 Grade IV interdental bone is destroyed
soft tissues have receded apically furcation opening is clinically visible

13 Other Classification Indices
Hamp et al modified a three-stage classification system Easley and Drennan and Tarnow and Fletcher A B C vertical depth mm mm >7mm Furcations-IA,IB,IC IIA,IIB,IIC IIIA,IIIB,IIIC

14 Treatment objectives of furcation therapy (1) facilitate maintenance
(2) prevent further attachment loss (3) obliterate the furcation defects as a periodontal maintenance problem

15 Therapeutic Classes of Furcation Defects
Class I: Early Defects oral hygiene, scaling, and root planing Class II Localized flap procedures with odontoplasty, osteoplasty, and ostectomy. GTR(Guided tissue regeneration) Classes II to IV: Advanced Defects Periodontal surgery, endodontic therapy, and restoration of the tooth may be required to retain the tooth.

16 Nonsurgical Therapy Oral Hygiene Procedures Scaling and Root Planing

17 Surgical Therapy Osseous Resection Regeneration(GTR) Root Resection
Hemesection Extraction Dental Implants

18 Root ResectionProcedure

19 Hemisection Procedure

20 Dental Implants

22 MCQ-2 The furcation lesion have definite horizontal component,radiographs may or may not depict the furcation involvement (a)Grade I (b)Grade II (c)Grade III (d)Grade IV

23 MCQ-3 Which is the best treatment modality of isolated deep class II furcations (a)Scaling and Rootplaning (b)Odantoplasty and Osteoplasty (c)Flap debridement with osteoplasty and odantoplasty (d) Rootresection and Hemisection

24 MCQ-4 Which of the following have good candidates for regeneration procedure (a)Class I furcation (b)Class II furcaton (c)Class III furcation (d)Class IV furcation

25 MCQ-5 Which of the following probe is used for the diagnosis of furcation defects (a)U.N.C Probe (b)WHO Probe (c)CPITN Probe (d)Nabers Probe
