Background: In periodontal therapy, furcation defects are one of the most therapeutically challenging periodontal therapies. Till now various treatment methods have been tried which have shown different success rates. The present study was undertaken to compare the efficacy of bioactive glass (alloplast) with Freeze dried bone allograft (FDBA) in the treatment of Class II furcation defects. Materials and Methods: Twenty patients were selected for the study which had bilateral Class II furcation defects in molars from which ten patients were male and ten patients sere female in the age group of 45-55 years. Various clinical measurements were recorded at three times i.e. at baseline, at one month and at six months post surgery which included the Turesky-Glimore-Glickman modification of the Quigley Hein plaque index, the Loe and silness gingival index, relative clinical attachment level vertical probing depth in the mid-furcation area, and horizontal probing depth in the furcation area. The statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 23.0. Results: In the relative clinical attachment levels, the mean gain in the test and control groups was 2.45 and 1.58 mm, respectively at the end of six months. In the horizontal probing depth values, the mean change in the bioactive glass graft and freeze dried bone allograft was 1.45 and 1.33 mm, respectively. Conclusion: From our study it was concluded that efficacy of Bioactive glass is much better as compared to Freeze dried bone allograft in the treatment of Class II furcation defects. Keywords: Bioactive glass, Freeze dried bone allograft, furcation defects
