title: Coronally displaced flaps in reconstructive periodontal therapy.
abstract: This article reviews the approach taken by the Loma Linda University Group in treating molars with Class II and Class III furcation lesions. The surgical technique used is detailed for Class II furcations. The modification of the technique for lingual furcation of lower molars and the postsurgical behavior of a crown-attached flap are also discussed.
