(1984), i.e. teeth with more than one of the following problems: A. Loss more than 75% of the supporting bone. B. Probing depths more than 8 mm. C. Class III furcation involvement. D. Class III mobility with tooth movement in mesial-distal and vertical directions. E. Poor crown/root ratios. F. Root proximity with minimal interproximal bone and evidence of horizontal bone loss. G. History of repeated periodontal abscess formation. 2. Patients who are able to come for follow-up for the duration of the study. 3. The periodontally hopeless teeth are planned for extraction and the patient decides to do so. 4. Patients who are willing to have their remaining teeth scaled & root planed after extraction. 5. After extraction of the periodontally hopeless teeth, patients still have at least 1 occlusal unit on that side.
