Abstract

Introduction: Furcation involvement is a feature of advanced periodontal disease, which increases risk for future loss of attachment and destruction of bone. Furcation involved teeth were considered to have poor prognosis and were recommended for extraction until recently. With advancements in Periodontology early diagnosis and timely intervention has increased the long term survival of involved teeth. Early involvement can be treated successfully with non surgical periodontal therapy whereas for advanced cases regenerative and resective surgeries are choice of treatment. Aim: The aim of the study was to find out prevalence of furcation involvement of molars in Greater Noida population. Methodology : Patients selected were in the age group of 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64. The present study was performed using IOPA of 100 subjects and clinical assessment was done based on Hampâ€™sclassification (1975) using UNC 15 probe. Results: The study results revealed that the overall prevalence of furcation involvement of molars is 22% and it increased with increase in age. Furcation involvement was positively correlated with plaque score, attachment loss, pocket depth andgingival bleeding sites. Conclusion: Age, plaque, gingival inflammation, periodontal pockets, clinical attachment loss are risk factors for furcation involvement.[ Kumar R Natl J Integr Res Med, 2018; 9(6):18-22]
