Brief Summary

Background: Furcation is the bifurcation or trifurcation of a multirooted tooth. It is an area of complex anatomic morphology difficult to debride by routine periodontal instrumentation. Multiple approaches have been used in an effort to treat the furcation Choukroun's platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), a second generation platelet concentrate has biochemical components which have well known synergetic effects on healing processes. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of autologous platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in the treatment of mandibular molar Grade 2 furcation defects in comparison to allograft and guided tissue regeneration (GTR) membrane.

    9 months Post treatment

  • Bone fill

    Bone fill was assessed radiographically and 9 months after surgery

    9 months Post treatment

Secondary Outcomes (3)

Eligibility Criteria

Age30 Years - 50 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • One or more sites showing grade II furcation involvement in mandibular molars, with Probing pocket depth ≥ 5mm
  • Vertical attachment level and horizontal level ≥3mm were considered.
  • Patients who were systemically healthy, with no history of endodontic and periodontal treatment for the last 6 months, and no antibiotic usage for the last 6 months were included in the study. Care was taken to ascertain that the samples taken for the study were not allergic to any drugs nor to the graft materials used.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with a history of diabetes, hypertension, on anticoagulant or steroid therapy (which could alter the effects of PRF), cardiac diseases, insufficient platelet counts and immunocompromised individuals were excluded from the study.
  • Care was taken to exclude pregnant women and lactating mothers, smokers, patients with previous history of graft placement in the experimental site, and importantly those patients who were unable to maintain good oral hygiene (PI Score ≥ 1.5).
  • If Grade II mobility was observed after phase I therapy in the experimental teeth, they were excluded
