Periodontal regenerative treatment is useful for intrabony defects and furcation involvement, but is difficult when there is insufficient keratinized mucosa to cover and maintain the regenerative material, particularly in the mandibular molar region. We report the case of a 27-year-old woman who underwent a two-stage surgical approach for a class II furcation defect with gingival recession and insufficient keratinized mucosal width (KMW) and vestibular depth at the mandibular left first molar. We first improved the KMW and keratinized mucosal thickness using an epithelial embossed connective tissue graft with enamel matrix derivative, and then focused on periodontal regeneration at the furcation defect using an enamel matrix derivative and a bovine-derived xenograft. Probing depth reduction, clinical attachment gain, horizontal probing depth reduction, KMW gain, and gingival recession reduction were observed 3 years postoperatively. This case report suggests that this novel staged approach may be effective for treating furcation defects with insufficient keratinized mucosa, thus providing useful insights into periodontal regeneration therapy.
