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.
