Pulpities in decidous teeth in radiograph see related to.. furcation



Pulpities in decidous teeth in radiograph see related to:

- furcation.*** 

- apex of root.

- lateral to root.

In dentistry, a furcation defect is bone loss, usually a result of periodontal disease, affecting the base of the root trunk of a tooth where two or more roots meet (bifurcation or trifurcation).
The extent and configuration of the defect are factors in both diagnosis and treatment planning.
A tooth with a furcation defect typically possessed a more diminished prognosis owing to the difficulty of rendering the furcation area free from periodontal pathogens.
For this reason, surgical periodontal treatment may be considered to either close the furcation defect with grafting procedures or allow greater access to the furcation defect for improved oral hygiene.
