BACKGROUND: Procedures for the treatment of molar furcation invasion defects range from open flap debridement, apically repositioned flap, hemisection, tunneling or extraction, to regenerative therapies. METHODS: The results of surgical therapy consisting of the clinical parameters of probing depth and bleeding on probing were compared in 15 patients with moderate to advanced adult periodontitis. Each patient received surgical therapy consisting of regenerative therapy using bioactive glass compared to open flap debridement alone in human mandibular molar furcation defects. RESULTS: The results of therapy were statistically significant in the defects treated with the bioactive glass. CONCLUSIONS: This study revealed the benefits of bioactive glass in the treatment of Class II furcation defects regarding the clinical parameters of probing depth reduction and the reduction in bleeding on probing.
