Endodontic therapy and management of grade II furcation periodontal disease in a mandibular first molar tooth of a dog.
Conventional endodontic therapy, necessitated by the development of a carious lesion coronal to the furcation area of a mandibular first molar tooth, and management by gingivoplasty of a resultant Grade II furcation lesion are described. In addition, the significance of radiographic changes associated with the periapical region of an undercondensed mesial root is addressed.
