Clinical Comparative Study Between Using of Er:Yag Laser in Treatment of Second Degree Furcation Involvement Versus Conventional Surgery


Abstract in English

furcation involvement occurs in the term of chronic periodontitis, and gives the involved tooth worse prognosis, so that it represents a problem for diagnosis and treatment. The aim of this study was to compare clinically the surgical treatment of second degree- furcal involvement in mandiblur molars (that each of them has one furcation), using Er:YAG laser versus conventional surgery.
