Dealing with Furcation Area Lesions in Comprehensive Dentistry

-Case report

Abstract

To treat advanced furcation area lesions (degrees II and III ) ^{1, 2, 3, 4, 5)} , excision therapy such as root amputation and hemisection, and regenerative therapy such as GTR, are applied based on the degree of progression. However, in planning comprehensive treatment, it is necessary to determine the treatment methods of furcation area lesions considering the relationship with the adjacent teeth and the opposing teeth. In particular, when root amputation or hemisection was performed, prosthetic treatment becomes necessary, and it is important to obtain good oral hygiene habits and appropriate occlusion.
Although it has been proposed that implantation should be performed extracting the teeth with low predictability, it is impossible to treat all cases only by implantation. Therefore, to treat furcation area lesions, root amputation and hemisection is considered necessary to preserve the teeth as much as possible. In this study, root resection (trisection) was performed to treat maxillary furcation area lesions, and hemisection was performed for mandibular furcation area lesions, and prosthetic treatment was performed in the comprehensive dentistry.
