The reduced rate of success experienced in the treatment of Furcation involvement (FI) seems to result from the incomplete removal of subgingival plaque and calculus in the interradicular area owing to the peculiar anatomy of the furcation space. Regarding the therapeutic approach, although FI treated with a conservative approach may not yield the same satisfactory results as single rooted teeth; it has been shown that teeth with FI have a remarkable survival rate following conservative treatment in patients demonstrating a satisfactory plaque control. Minimally invasive techniques aim to retain the preoperative gingival architecture, create a minimal wound and gently handle soft and hard tissues. It becomes imperative to see the differences in clinical, and patient centered outcomes of minimally invasive non- surgical versus surgical technique in the management of furcation involvement in mandibulae molar.
