Periodontal Diseases
Conditions
Interventions
40 maxillary molars from 12 patients totaling 120 sites were clinically and surgically evaluated by periodontal probing. The same sites were also analyzed by cone beam computed tomography.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: patients older than 18 years with periodontitis in upper molar teeth; who underwent previous non-surgical periodontal therapy and showed no improvement in periodontal disease.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Maxillary molars with furcation injury that simultaneously had caries; cervical resorption; fused roots; metallic crowns or amalgam restorations near the alveolar bone crest; Endodontically treated teeth that could generate artifacts compromising image quality; Pregnant or lactating women.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to find efficacy in the indication of CBCT for the assessment of furcation types, when compared to the trans-surgical evaluation used as the gold standard. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is also expected to establish the most cost-effective voxel size for evaluation of furcation lesions in maxillary molars.;Finally, it is hoped that the results found will assist periodontists and radiologists in the indications of the exams, as well as in the diagnosis, planning and treatment of upper molar furcation lesions. These data may also contribute to the literature in future research. | — |
