Introduction: Teeth with furcation involvement can be maintained in a state of function for a longer period of time if appropriately treated and if the patient is motivated adequately. This report highlights the effect of regenerative and resective therapy in the management of grade III furcation involvement. Observation: A 48 years old male patient was evaluated for furcation involvement with respect to the root canal treated lower right first molar tooth. Grade III furcation involvement was noted for which regenerative therapy was attempted with platelet rich fibrin (PRF) and bone grafts. After 2 years of follow up, the furcation involvement still persisted and patient had a complaint of food lodgement. Hence, resective osseous surgery (tunnel preparation) was done to make the furcation ease for maintaining oral hygiene. Commentary: In cases of periodontal loss, periodontal regenerative therapy must be the first treatment of choice. However, regeneration of grade III furcation involvement is more challenging and very few reports are available in the literature. Conclusion: The selection of cases for regenerative or resective therapy depends on the clinicians’ knowledge and practice. The ultimate goal of periodontal therapy is to provide a dentition that will function in health and comfort for life.

Idiopathic or hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF) is a relatively rare disease characterized by the enlargement of the gingiva, resulting in functional, esthetics and psychological disturbances. The degree of gingival overgrowth can be defined as: grade 0: no sign of gingival enlargement; grade I: enlargement confined to interdental papilla; grade II: enlargement involves papilla and marginal gingiva; and grade III: enlargement covers three quarters or more of the crown. This case report describes the case of a 16-year-old girl suffering from HGF with chief complaint of gingival swelling. Intraoral examination exhibited diffuse and grade III gingival enlargement in both jaws and also in both surfaces of buccal and lingual/palatal. Treatment included surgery (internal and external gingivectomy) in six sessions, and prescription of antibiotics and 0.2% chlorhexidine mouthwash. Moreover, gingivoplasty was performed in the esthetic zone of maxilla after performing all the surgeries in the mouth. The patient was under regular follow-up visits. The treatment outcomes after six months were satisfactory and no symptoms of recurrence were observed.

Radicular cysts are the most common inflammatory cysts of the jaws. Surgical intervention aims to eliminate periapical pathology in order to allow bone regeneration and healing of periapical tissues. Autologous platelet-rich fibrin is a healing biomaterial in oral surgical defects with the new perspective of accelerated healing. Titanium-prepared platelet rich fibrin (T-PRF) is a third-generation platelet concentrate developed to overcome the harmful effects of silica in glass tubes and also has a longer resorption rate. The purpose of this case report is to present the effects of T-PRF applied to the bone defect that occurs after the enucleation of the radicular cyst. A significant increase in bone density was observed after eight months of follow-up. T-PRF has been shown to be effective in the treatment of bone defects. Therefore, it is thought that it can be used as the only regenerative material in the treatment of bone defects.
