title: Management of Class-II Furcation Complicated with Endodontic involvement using Two Different Regenerative Materials.
abstract: This paper presents a case series of furcation involved teeth complicated with endodontic involvement which were treated with periodontal, endodontic and restorative procedures using different bone regenerative materials like; (a) Calcium phosphosilicate bone substitute having bioactive glass 69% mixed with glycerin 19% and poly-ethylene 12% dispensed in a putty form; (b) hydroxyapatite 70% and β-tricalcium phosphate 30% dispensed in granular form. All the cases were randomly selected having Grade II furcation defect with primary or secondary endodontic involvement. All cases were under observation for a period of 9 months. Measurements at 9 months post-surgery demonstrated that dental putty as bone graft substitute which was in combination of bioactive glass mixed with glycerine and polyethylene glycol showed better result as compared granular bone graft which was in combination of hydroxyapatite and β-tricalcium phosphate.
