    Furcation involvement is one of the most important criteria for prognosis determination.
    if furcation involvement identify by whatever method treatment for that should define in proper way because if treatment is not proper than outcome of that treatment is compromised.
    in case of maxillary molar the prevalence of furcation involvement is most common.

    So one should avoid treating a tooth of furaction involvement?
    Extraction is the only option?
    How successful are bone grafts in such cases??

    Grade II furcation are best treated by regenerative procedures. Its prognosis is quite good. For Grade III, IV there procedures such as hemisection, root resection, bicucspidization and tunnelling procedures

    In teeth with furcation defects and endodontic lesions we are looking at a endo – perio lesion which may or may not be combined.If the lesion is combined overall prognosis for tooth is poor. If the lesions are two separate entities , rct will take care of the endo lesion. The furcation defect depending on the grade needs perio therapy ranging from non surgical maintenence , regeneration in Class 2 mandibular to other resective procedures.
