title: [A periodontal furcation problem in a mandibular premolar].
abstract: For several days a patient suffered from difficult to diagnose mandibular oral pain. The patient complained of pain and swelling for which no obvious explanation could be found. Eventually the cause became clear, as a second premolar with a mesial and distal root was found to have been affected by periodontal inflammation at the root furcation.
