Regenerative therapy in the treatment of maxillary molar Class II furcations: case reports.
This report demonstrates the use of regenerative therapy in the treatment of maxillary molar Class II furcations. The predominant therapy provided was open debridement in combination with DFDBA, e-PTFE membranes, and citric acid root conditioning. Case reports of consecutively treated patients that include radiographs and reentry photographs demonstrate that maxillary molar furcations can be successfully treated with predictability.
