Evaluating periodontal probing depth and furcation involvement on the endodontic treatment of maxillary fourth premolar complicated crown-root fractures in 122 teeth.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the prognosis of root canal treatment (RCT) in dogs with complicated crown-root fractures (CCRFs) of the maxillary fourth premolar (PM4), focusing on the impact of periodontal probing depth (PPD) and furcation involvement on treatment outcomes.

Methods: The study analyzed 122 PM4 teeth affected by CCRF in dogs. The primary outcomes were the success rates of RCT, measured against PPD, and the degree of furcation involvement (stages F0, F1, and F2).
