Bone Loss

This illustration shows how the bone breaks down due to periodontitis and how bone loss occurs.

Here,the process of periodontal regeneration is illustrated,where lost bone is restored.

Furcation Involvement

Furcation involvement occurs when periodontal inflammation breaks down the bone between the roots of multi-rooted teeth. Grade 0 (left) describes a condition without involvement,while Grade I (right) shows an incipient bone loss that can still be stabilised.

Grade II (left) denotes an advanced involvement requiring therapy. Grade III (right) describes the condition with an open passage between the roots (complete exposure),which also requires therapy.
