Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Group A : Bidirectionally positioned flap in combination with bioactive glass  Under local anaesthesia and all aseptic conditions with number 15c blade a partial thickness horizontal incision was given 2mm apical to the gingival margin. Mesial and distal full thickness vertical releasing incision were given and a trapezoidal partial thickness flap was reflected. Then the underlying periosteal pedicle flap was reflected upto the mucogingival junction with mesial and distal vertical releasing incisions and a horizontal releasing incision was given at its base. The exposed furcation defect and the adjacent bone was thoroughly debrided and irrigated using betadine mouthwash and exposed roots were thoroughly planed. Bioactive glass particulate graft was then packed into the furcation defect with the help of a plastic instrument and condensed in place. Care was taken that the defects were adequately filled and not under or over filled. Then the periosteal pedicle flap was coronally advanced, overlying the packed furcation defect completely and sutured using 4-0 resorbable suture using one sling suturing technique. The outer trapezoidal partial thickness flap was sutured at the same position, without any tension using 5-0 non-resorbable silk suture using simple interrupted suturing technique for the vertical releasing incisions and the first horizontal incisions. Periodontal dressing was then placed to cover the surgical site completely. 
Intervention  Group B : Open flap debridement in combination with GTR membrane and bioactive glass  Under local anaesthesia and all aseptic conditions with no. 12 blade a sulcular incisions was given and a full thickness (mucoperiosteal) flap was reflected retaining sufficient tissue to attain primary closure. The exposed furcation defect and the adjacent bone was thoroughly debrided and irrigated using betadine mouthwash and exposed roots were thoroughly planed. Bioactive glass particulate graft was then packed into the furcation defect with the help of a plastic instrument and condensed in place. Care was taken that the defects were adequately filled and not under or over filled. Then a correctly contoured bioabsorbable GTR membrane was used to cover the defect and it is stabilized with a sling suture. The mucoperiosteal flap was then adapted and sutured in position with 4-0 resorbable suture. Periodontal dressing was then placed to cover the surgical site completely. 
Comparator Agent  Group C : Open flap debridement  Under local anaesthesia and all aseptic conditions with no. 12 blade sulcular incisions was given and a full thickness (mucoperiosteal) flap was reflected retaining sufficient tissue to attain primary closure. The exposed furcation defect and the adjacent bone was thoroughly debrided and irrigated using betadine mouthwash and exposed roots were thoroughly planed. The mucoperiosteal flap was then adapted and sutured in position with 5-0 non-resorbable silk suture.

Brief Summary  
The study evaluated the treatment outcomes clinically and radiographically of bidirectionally positioned flap (BPF) technique in combination with bioactive glass to open flap debridement with bioresorbable collagen membrane in combination with bioactive glass and open flap debridement alone for the treatment of mandibular molar class II furcation defects. A total of 24 class II furcation defects in 24 patients with mean age of 50.75 were enrolled after satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Every patient signed the informed consent form. The baseline and six months  postoperative treatment parameters were compared. Within the limiations , it was concluded that, appropriate case selection and treatment planning is the key to achieving the best results in the treatment of class II mandibular molar furcation defects. The BPF technique in combination with a bone graft substitute and bioresorbable membrane in combination with bone graft substitue showed better results in comparision to open flap debridement. The BPF technique in combination with a bone graft substitue may show comparable treatment outcomes with the bioresorbable membrane in combination with bone graft substitute. Future studies are required with longer followups and sample size to make further definitive conclusions in using BPF surgery in combination therapy for molar class II furcation defects.
