A Modified Approach for the Treatment of Molars with Advanced Furcation Involvements (Sandwich’s Technique) - (III) Combined use of TPP, SRP, RSR and CSCTD

Abstract The purpose of this study was to assess different periodontitis groups affected with mild, moderate and severe alveolar bone levels and treated using the Sandwich’s procedures. A total of 53 subjects, who had taken two sets of full-mouth standarized paralleling radiographs with mean observation time was 10.18±3.89 years and (ranges: 5.1 to 18.3 years) were collected for the past 20 years.

The purpose of this study was to assess different periodontitis groups affected with mild, moderate and severe alveolar bone levels and treated using the Sandwich’s procedures. A total of 53 subjects, who had taken two sets of full-mouth standarized paralleling radiographs with mean observation time was 10.18±3.89 years and (ranges: 5.1 to 18.3 years) were collected for the past 20 years. The radiographic alveolar bone levels (RABL) at mesial and distal aspects of teeth were assessed by measuring the distance between cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) and the bone crest using an electronic digimatic caliper (EDC) under 7.5 magnified radiographs. The patients, who presented with SAP, were between 24 and 84 years of age, with a mean age of 54.8±10.2years. Although, the treatment of angular defects in molars with guided tissue regeneration, emdogain has been reported and has exhibited significant and predictable results, however, afforded very limited and less predictable results in the treatment of advanced class II and III maxillary furcation defects. The majority of root resection procedures are commonly recommended for treating advanced molar furcation, in particular located at molars with class III furcation involvement, there is still some controversy regarding the long-term prognosis after different treatment modalities. In general, the root resection procedure is a surgical approach for simultaneously performing a periodontal flap operation at first and followed by the amputation and/or resection of maxillary root(s). There are some complications and disadvantages, such as post-operative pain and bleeding, swelling, infection, etc. The present report is to describe the combination of therapeutic provisional prosthesis (TPP), fixed prosthesis, non-surgical procedure using root separation and/or resection (RSR) and for the treatment of advanced Class II and III furcation-Involved molars. In addition, evidenced-based clinical trials of retrospective and longitudinal data were also prescribed here. The purpose of this study was to present treatment procedures of Sandwich’s technique and retrospectively to evaluate the long-term clinical trials of this method in treating molar teeth with SAP and molar FI who were diagnosed as guarded and/or hopeless prognosis.
