[Diagnosis of furcation involvement].
The diagnostic aids for the assessment of furcation involvement are identical with the ones used for periodontal assessment. For probing of the furcation area, a special curved probe is indispensable. A new imaging procedure for diagnosis of alterations in the furcation area is presented: after congruently superimposing digitalized x-ray films on each other, the only structures left visible are the ones whose density has changed.
