EMDOGAIN® was applied to the mesial vertical bone detects of the first molar of the lower right jaw and positive results were obtained. Based on Glickmans classification hemisection was performed after root canal treatment in most cases of this type. However, in this case EMDOGAIN® was used for regeneration without root canal treatment. Prior to surgery, the probing depth on the mesial side of the first molar right jaw was 8mm, furcation involment was Class II according to Glickman's classification, The degree of mobility was 1 and attachment loss was 7mm. Maintenance was performed 6 months after the procedure, X-rays confirmed recovery offurcation involment and the alveolar bone of the mesial side. The degree of mobility become 0 and the pocket also showed improvement to a depth of 2mm. An electrical pulp test also showed on attachment gain to an acceptable level of 5mm.
