FURCATION INVOLVEMENT
A furcation is the branching point
between roots on a multirooted tooth.
In the absence of disease, furcations
cannot be clinically probed because
they are filled in with bone and
periodontal attachment. With advancing
periodontal disease, however, attachment
loss and bone loss may reach a furcation
area resulting in a furcation involvement.28,29
Pockets that extend into the furcation create
areas with difficult access for the dentist
between roots on a multirooted tooth.
