The severity of furcation involvement (FI) directly affected tooth prognosis and influenced treatment approaches. However, assessing, diagnosing, and treating molars with FI was complicated by anatomical and mo
Furcation-involved molars are a common presentation in general dental practice. Teeth with increasing degrees of furcation involvement are at a higher risk of requiring extraction. The assessment and management of these teeth may be complicated by difficulties in accessing the furcation for both the ...
Periodontal reasons for tooth loss were mainly mobility followed by furcation involvement. Periodontal surgery did not significantly enhance tooth retention in high risk groups. Ethnic differences observed were not significant and would need further investigations to address variables such as cultural ...
A number of common clinical measures have been found to be significantly associated with tooth loss from periodontal disease, including furcation involvement, probing depth, mobility, crown/root ratio and oral hygiene. However, the inter-relationships among these measures, as well as the relevance of...
They have been classified previously according to the length of the stenosis or the severity of the symptoms, but not according to bronchial involvement. Methods Data from patients who underwent slide tracheoplasty for long-segment (>50%) congenital tracheal stenosis were collected. We identified ...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to classify mandibular molar furcation involvement (FI) in periapical radiographs using a deep learning algorithm. Materials and Methods: Full mouth series taken at East Carolina University School of Dental Medicine from 2011-2023 were screened. Diag...
For the 2018 classification, patients were staged according to their CAL or bone loss (BL) and the number of lost teeth (stages I–IV). Further factors like probing pocket depths (PPD) or furcation involvement modified the stage. The extent was sub‐classified as generalized/localized. ...
