| Background: The reason of restoring a defect in a tooth is to preserve the tooth and its surrounding structures. This study aims to examine the correlation between the presence of a crown (CR) or a proximal restoration (RE) and furcation involvement (FI) on molar teeth. Material &method: Data was collected from 238 periodontal patients (130 male and 108 female) who had restored and non-restored molars present both with and without (FI). A majority of the restoration that were present in these patients had been placed for at least five years prior to the study. First and second molars were examined clinically using the following criteria : CR, RE, FI, MO (mobility). Results: Females showed higher percentage of crown placement & Cl.II restorations than males results were 29.7%, 73.2%& 10%, 40% respectively.while percentage of furcation involvement &tooth mobility were higher in male and the results were 52.4%, 17.7% & 31. 9%, 16.7% respectively Conclusion: The results of this study indicated that molars with CR or RE had a significantly higher percentage of FI but no greater mobility when compared to molars without restorations (CR or RE). | ||
