background and aims. plasma rich in growth factors (prgf) is a concentrated suspension of growth factors, which is used to promote periodontal tissue regeneration. the aim of this randomized, controlled, clinical trial was to evaluate of the treatment of grade ii mandibular molar furcation involvement using autogenous bone graft with and without prgf. materials and methods. in this double-blind...

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...

Mineral Trioxide Aggregate is a material developed for endodontics that appears to be a significant improvement over other materials for procedures in bone. It is the first restorative material that allows for the overgrowth of cementum and the regeneration of periodontal ligament. The present case report illustrates the use of MTA in treating a case of perforation in the furcation area with lo...

background and aims. furcally-involved teeth present unique challenges to the success of periodontal therapy and influence treatment outcomes. this study aimed to assess to compare use of adm and connective tissue membrane in class ii furcation defect regeneration. materials and methods. 10 patient with 2 bilaterally class ii furcation defects in first and/or second maxilla or man-dibular molar...

Aim: The aim of periodontal surgery is complete regeneration. The present study was designed to evaluate and compare clinically soft tissue changes in form of probing pocket depth, gingival shrinkage, attachment level and hard tissue changes in form of horizontal and vertical bone level using resorbable membranes. Materials and methods: Twelve subjects with bilateral class 2 furcation defects w...

CONTEXT Invasion of the bifurcation and trifurcation of the multi-rooted teeth resulting in furcation involvement is one of the serious complications of periodontitis. AIM The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of combination therapy using anorganic bovine bone graft and resorbable guided tissue regeneration (GTR) membrane versus open flap debridement alone in the management of...

Background and aims. Furcally-involved teeth present unique challenges to the success of periodontal therapy and influence treatment outcomes. This study aimed to assess to compare use of ADM and connective tissue membrane in class II furcation defect regeneration. Materials and methods. 10 patient with 2 bilaterally class II furcation defects in first and/or second maxilla or man-dibular molar...

This article reports a successful clinical regimen of treatment for the Class II furcation defect. Twenty-eight patients with molar teeth demonstrating Class II furcations were treated with regenerative therapy with the goal of regenerating lost interradicular periodontium. The treatment selected included scaling and root planing, surgical flap design that would enable the flap to completely co...

OBJECTIVE Treatment of furcation defects are thought to be challenging. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic parameters of Bio-Gen with Biocollagen compared with Bio-Gen with connective tissue in the treatment of Class II furcation defects. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this clinical trial, 24 patients with Class II furcation defect on a buccal or lingual mandibul...

Background The treatment of furcation area defects remained as a challenging issue in periodontal treatments. Regeneration treatment of furcation defects is the most discussed periodontal treatment. Although not completely hopeless in prognosis, the presence of the furcation involvement significantly increases the chance of tooth loss. The current research was conductedeto compare theeadditive ...
