Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Inclusion Criteria
  • Minimum of 12 teeth present
  • Diagnosis of Severe Periodontitis stage III or IV (Tonetti et al., 2018)
  • At least one maxillary molar with: i) degree II-III horizontal furcation involvement (Eickholz and Walter, 2018), ii) class C vertical furcation involvement (bone loss up to the apical third of root cones) (Tarnow and Fletcher, 1984, Tonetti et al., 2017), iii) residual probing pocket depths \> 5 mm, iv) maximum mobility degree I (Hamp et al., 1975) and v) not already accessible for self-performed oral hygiene
  • Received a course of non-surgical periodontal therapy within the past six months
  • Positive response to electric and cold testing
  • Exclusion Criteria
  • Patient:
  • Full mouth plaque score \> 30%
  • A course of antibiotics within the past 3 months
  • Pregnant/lactating women
  • Relevant medical history as evaluated by the examining clinician which may have the potential to affect periodontal surgical treatment (such as disease affecting clotting ability)
  • Individuals on long-standing (2 or above years) supportive periodontal therapy (SPT) management plans
  • Molar affected by FI:
  • Ongoing endodontic pathology affecting the furcation-involved molar, as judged by the examining clinician
  • Teeth associated with signs or symptoms indicative of pulpal or periapical pathology
  • Evidence of coronal cracks upon root resection
  • Previous periodontal surgical treatment to the furcation-affected molar within the previous 5 years
  • Endodontically treated tooth
  • Restorations affecting more than 2 walls or 1 cusp
  • Molar tooth acting as a bridge abutment
  • Planned for extraction (for strategic/restorative reasons)
  • Root trunk exceeding ½ of the total root length
  • Fused roots
  • Remaining furcation not accessible for self-performed oral hygiene
  • The presence of occlusal dysfunction as assessed by the examining clinician
  • Sinus floor anatomy limiting possible osseous resective surgery
  • Tooth mobility causing discomfort to the patient
