An observational study in Furcation Defects, sponsored by University of Cagliari. Status unknown at 1 site in Italy. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-08-01.
Sponsored by University of Cagliari · Observational
The aim of this study will be to analyze the relationship between the presence of second class restorations (interproximal fillings) or prostheses (crowns, bridges) on molar teeth and the presence of bone resorption between the roots of the latter. Patients with this type of restorations will be identified and a non-interventional clinical and radiographic analysis will be conducted.
Patients who have a molar tooth reconstructed with a second class filling according to Black, or a with crown or that is abutment of a prosthetic bridge will be included in the study provided they have at least one other intact molar.
The molars included in the study do not have to be wisdom teeth. In these patients, in addition to the presence of furcations (bone resorption in the space between the roots), the probing depth (PD), the loss of clinical attachment (CAL), bleeding on probing ( BOP), mobility, width of the keratinized tissue, the length of the root trunk (measured radiographically), the presence or absence of endodontic treatments (evaluated on the radiography), the anatomy of the roots (widely separated, fused, separated but fused) and the presence of enamel projections will be recorded.
Data will be analyzed with utilizing Pearson chi-square and the pair-wise t test.
The analysis of these data will provide us with evidence on the influence that interproximal restorations and fixed prostheses, in the presence of other co-factors, have on the presence of furcations in molars.

Periodontal maintenance patients who have restored and non-restored molars present both with and without furcation involvement.

Exclusion Criteria:
Molars with a 2nd class restoration or a crown
Diagnostic Test: Periodontal probing
Molars with no restorations
Diagnostic Test: Periodontal probing
The teeth involved will be probed to assess probing depth, presence of furcation, bleeding. A radiograph will be taken to assess the length of the root trunk and the presence of root canal treatment
Also known as: Radiograph
Presence of furcation
The presence of bone resorption between the roots of the molar
Time frame: At the time of evaluation, the first time the patients is seen (time 0)
Plan to share: Yes — Individual participant data will be shared in a publication after the end of the study
Supporting information: Study protocol, Statistical analysis plan, Informed consent form, Clinical study report
Time frame: Data will be submitted for publication right after the analysis of the outcomes
