Area of Science:

  • Periodontology
  • Regenerative Dentistry

Background:

  • Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) is a complex periodontal therapy.
  • Successful GTR outcomes depend on meticulous presurgical evaluation and execution.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline essential presurgical considerations for effective guided tissue regeneration (GTR) therapy.
  • To present a diagnostic system for assessing maxillary molar furcation involvements.

Main Methods:

  • Review of presurgical factors critical for GTR success.
  • Development and description of a diagnostic system for furcation evaluation.

Main Results:

  • Identification of key diagnostic and technical prerequisites for GTR.
  • A structured approach to diagnosing maxillary molar furcation involvements is detailed.

Conclusions:

  • Judicious application of GTR necessitates thorough presurgical assessment.
  • The presented diagnostic system aids in evaluating furcation defects for GTR treatment planning.
