Comparison of DFDBA with L-PRF Vs FDBA with L-PRF for Degree II Furcation Defects

Furcations are frequently inaccessible for maintenance of personal oral hygiene and even for adequate professional debridement which is due to the multiple anatomical variations like degree of separation of root, enamel projections, presence of root concavities, accessory canals and intermediate bifurcation ridges. Predictable correction of furcation defects has however posed as a constant therapeutic challenge. Allografts are the bone graft materials which have been used extensively in periodontal therapy for regeneration. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a concentrated suspension of growth factors found in platelets. These growth factors moderate the wound healing and promote tissue regeneration. This article describes a case report of a patient who showed mandibular degree II furcation defects which were treated with DFDBA and FDBA in combination with L-PRF on both side. This case report tried to compare the clinical and radiographical outcome obtained by combination of DFDBA with L-PRF and FDBA with L-PRF
