FURCAL OBLITERATION FOR ADVANCED FURCATION INVASIONS USING GLASS – IONOMER RESTORATIVE MATERIAL
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 39
Abstract
Periodontal disease involving the furcation of multi-rooted tooth often complicates the treatment and prognosis of the affected tooth. Multiple modalities have been utilized over the years with unpredictable success. Class I and Class II Furcation invasions are amenable for regeneration; however, advanced invasions do not respond well to surgical techniques and are best treated by non-surgical mode or by extractions. Furcal obliteration by biocompatible material like Glass-Ionomer can seal the furcal niche and offer functional and maintainable state of teeth involved. The present case utilizes furcal obliteration method using Glass ionomer cement for grade III Furcal invasions in maxillary molar teeth. One year post operative follow up showed satisfactory results. This may prove to be an economical and less invasive option for advanced furcation involvements.
