Progression of Furcation Involvement: A Multi‐Center Cohort Study of Incidence, Timing, and Risk Factors
Furcation involvement is a progressive event for a majority of patients diagnosed with periodontitis. The risk of progression is correlated with a combination of systemic factors and the patient's overall periodontal status, but the factor most strongly correlated with a tooth's future deterioration is its own initial furcation grade.
