Periodontology class was taken by
Dr. John Kazimm at AHEAD Academy, New Delhi. The topic of discussion was ‘Furcation’.
It was attended by students preparing for NBDE, NDEB, USA and MDS. The
etiologies of furcation involvement may include anatomic factors, extension of
inflammatory periodontal disease, trauma from occlusion, pulpo-periodontal
disease and root fracture involving furcations. Successful treatment to retain
furcation-involved teeth remains one of the most difficult treatments in
overall periodontal therapy. Using the treatment protocol of scaling & root
planning as a single measure or combined with surgical procedures and proper
maintenance care, in multirooted teeth with furcation involvement, a high
percentage of tooth mortality has been reported.
