Management of grade II furcation defect in mandibular molar with bioactive synthetic bone graft : A case report

Abstract

Furcation areas are difficult to reach and have intricate structure.Thus, managing them is one of the most difficult aspects of periodontal therapy.Regeneration of periodontal soft and hard tissues, including the development of a new attachment apparatus, is the primary goal of regenerative therapy. Over the years, a variety of reconstructive techniques have been used to accomplish this. This case report's objective is to assess how well bioactive synthetic bone grafts works to treat mandibular grade II furcation defects. A bone graft (Perioglas,NOVABONE) was used to correct a grade II mandibular furcation defect. Clinical parameters, radiovisuography, probing depth (PD), and clinial attachment level (CAL) were evaluated both before and six months after surgery. Measurements taken six months after surgery showed a decrease in probing depth and horizontal furcation defect.
