The influence of thyroid hormones on periodontitis-related bone loss and tooth-supporting alveolar bone: a histological study in rats.

20 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Recent studies have pointed to potentially periodontal risk indicators, however no information is available on the impact of changes in thyroid hormone levels on the progression of periodontitis and on the quality of ... Read more...

Radiographic characteristics of furcation involvements in mandibular molars as prognostic indicators of healing after nonsurgical periodontal therapy.

30 Mar 2009 BACKGROUND: The authors conducted a study to evaluate the radiographic characteristics of Class II mandibular furcation involvements as prognostic indicators of healing after nonsurgical periodontal therapy. METHODS: Twenty-three patients with ... Read more...

Three-dimensional imaging as a pre-operative tool in decision making for furcation surgery.

27 Feb 2009 AIM: To investigate the use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in assessing furcation involvement (FI) and concomitant treatment decisions in maxillary molars. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Twelve patients with generalized chronic periodontitis were ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Furcation Defects'

Definition: Conditions in which a bifurcation or trifurcation of the molar tooth root becomes denuded as a result of periodontal disease. It may be followed by tooth mobility, temperature sensitivity, pain, and alveolar bone resorption.
