Presentation Transcript

  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- 1-3mm 4-6mm >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

  21. MCQ-1 • Which of the following author have described classification system that consider both horizontal and vertical attachment loss in the extent of furcation involvement (a)Glickman (b)Hamp (c) Nyman (d)Tarnow

  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
