ABSTRACT
Furcation is an area of limited accessibility and complex anatomy and its management presents both diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Several techniques are used alone or in combination to achieve periodontal regeneration. The techniques include the bone grafts or substitutes, guided tissue regeneration (GTR), root surface modification, and biological mediators. The aim of this case report was to evaluate the efficacy of a resorbable GTR membrane in combination with a bone graft material in the management of mandibular grade II furcation involvement.After taking the informed consent from the patient, surgical procedure was carried out and patient was monitored weekly post-operatively, to ensure good oral hygiene in the surgical area. At 6 month recall, the tooth was found asymptomatic with the successful healing.
Key words: Bone graft, Furcation involvement, Guided tissue regeneration.
