A diagnosis of stage III grade B periodontitis was made based on the clinical and radiographic examinations with respective to the severity of furcation involvement (grade II) and the rate of progression of bone loss (<2 mm over five years). The attachment loss and grade II furcation invasion on tooth #19 required definitive periodontal treatment. The prognosis of #19 was questionable because the grade II furcation made the patient’s daily oral hygiene maintenance in this area very difficult [1].
