Treatment of Advanced Grade III Periodontal Furcation Lesions

Participants will receive local anesthesia. Thorough debridement of the root surface will be completed to the depth of the periodontal pocket and of the furcation lesion, by using piezo-electric/ultrasonic devices with specific thin and delicate tips (such as Cavitron, Dentsply Sirona, US) and/or curettes. Treatment chair time will be recorded for each visit.

Patients will receive local anesthesia and intrasulcular incisions will be made by buccal and lingual/palatal aspects in order to reflect full-thickness flaps. After reflection of the flaps, the granulation tissue around the tooth will be removed with the non-cutting edge of a suitable scaling instrument such as a curette, taking care not to damage the root surfaces. Thorough debridement of the furcation area will be carried out by using piezo-electric/ultrasonic devices with specific thin and delicate tips
