[Long-term results of treated bi- and trifurcations in periodontitis profunda].
In 180 patients treated between 1971 and 1989 and subjected to regular follow-up checks, a total of 1111 molar teeth have been studied. 944 of them showed furcation involvement. Primarily 828 furcation involved teeth (87.7%) could be saved. The most frequently used method of treatment was flap surgery in primary treatment, and curettage in secondary treatment. Radectomy has gained ground in the past few years in the treatment of class III furcations. A treatment concept emphasizing the discriminating use of various treatment methods allows long-term preservation of molars with advanced furcation involvement.
